Epidemiology of Mycoplasma pneumoniae prevalence in Iranian patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Conclusions. The frequency of M. pneumoniae in Iran is comparable with other parts of the world. Although the overall prevalence of M. pneumoniae was low, awareness about the distribution of these agent is very important because of higher infection rates in susceptible groups. In addition, these results showed the rates of M. pneumoniae had variation based on location, type of infection and sample, gender and detection rate and there was evidence of publication bias.
