Abstract
We report an increase of Mycoplasma pneumoniae (Mp) respiratory infections during 2023-2024. The positive rate in 2024 is higher at 68 per 1668 (5%) compared with 2023 at nine per 1264 (0.7%), highlighting the Mp increased circulation in north-west Italy. The increase in Mp cases showed an outbreak in July 2024.
