 | | While atypical pneumonias have been commonly associated as a whole with milder forms of pneumonia, pneumonia due to Legionella, in particular, can be quite severe and lead to high mortality rates. |
 | | Atypical pneumonia due to Mycoplasma and Chlamydia usually cause milder forms of pneumonia and are characterized by a more protracted course of symptoms unlike other forms of pneumonia which can come on more quickly with more severe early symptoms. |
 | | Mycoplasma pneumonia often affects younger people and may be associated with manifestations outside of the lungs (such as anemia and rashes), and neurological syndromes (such as meningitis, myelitis, and encephalitis). |
