Abstract：Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia(MPP)is a common respiratory disease characterized by cyclical epidemic peaks every few years.Macrolides serve as the first-line treatment for this disease;however,prolonged usage of it has led to an increasing drug resistance rate of Mycoplasma pneumoniae(MP)to macrolides.Due to the adverse reactions of second-line drugs such as tetracyclines and quinolones,their clinical application is limited,posing challenges in clinical treatment.Extensive clinical studies have reported that traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)demonstrates significant efficacy in treating MPP.TCM exerts therapeutic effects by inhibiting MP adhesion,alleviating direct pathogen-induced damage,mitigating inflammatory injury,modulating immune function,improving vascular occlusion,and addressing drug resistance.This article provides a comprehensive review of TCM-based treatments for MPP and their mechanisms,offering valuable references for the prevention and treatment of MPP through TCM methods.
