<p><strong>Materials and methods. </strong>The study included the data from 266 medical histories of military recruits aged 18-26, who had community-acquired pneumonia confirmed clinically and X-ray, as well as concomitant chronic respiratory diseases and a spectrum of isolated microorganisms in the sputum. When pneumonia worsened in patients who were admitted to the hospital, the level of blood serum antibodies to <em>M. hominis</em> was measured.</p>
<p><strong>Results.</strong> The study results showed that in military recruits, suffering from community-acquired pneumonia with concomitant chronic respiratory diseases, in case of undetected microorganisms in the sputum, the measurement of blood serum IgM antibodies to <em>Mycoplasma hominis</em> has a clinical value.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusions. </strong><em>Mycoplasma hominis</em> occupies a special place in the etiological structure of pathology among patients with community-acquired pneumonia.</p>ВоеннослужащиепневмонияMycoplasma hominis[Belogorov S.B., Dolgikh V.V., Smirnov E.L.
