Core Tip	Children with M. pneumoniae pneumonia who have severe imaging abnormalities, respiratory failure, or extrapulmonary complications or do not improve after macrolide treatment should be monitored for inflammatory markers such as lactic dehydrogenase, C-reactive protein, and interleukin-6. These markers help predict severe and refractory cases. Clinicians should identify the cause of macrolide non-responsiveness, such as resistant strains or co-infection, and consider starting glucocorticoid treatment for refractory cases.
