Abstract: Mycoplasma pneumoniae was a common cause of respiratory tract infections before the COVID-19 pandemic, with worldwide incidence of 8·61% from 2017 to 2020, measured by direct test methods.1 However, non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) against COVID-19 drastically lowered the transmission of M pneumoniae. In the short term, the incidence was down to 1·69% between 2020 and 2021. Lower transmission was also observed for other pathogens at the time.1 However, M pneumoniae transmission also showed long-term reductions during periods with relaxed or discontinued NPIs, with an incidence of 0·70% between 2021 and 2022.
