We retrospectively examined pediatric 83 patients with pneumonia due to Mycoplasma pneumoniae, ranging in age from 6 months to 14 years, treated with tosufloxacin (TFLX) for more than 3 days between October 2010 and December 2011. The TFLX dose was 12 mg/kg/day (maximum 360 mg/day). Seventy-eight of
