Increased serum antibody titers of M. pneumoniae were noted in all cases. They were a 36-year-oldfemale with bronchial asthma, a 74-year-old-male with old pulmonary tuberculosis and a 82-year-oldmale with chronic bronchitis. All cases had fever, productive cough with purulent sputum and coarse crackle by auscultation. Leukocytosis was noted in 2cases.
