Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a frequent cause of community-acquired respiratory infections, especially in young children and adolescents. The significance of M. pneumoniae infection in HIV-positive patients, particularly children, is not well described. This report describes an HIV-positive female child with recurrent B-cell lymphoma and recurrent or relapsing pulmonary infections with M. pneumoniae.
