Severe Mycoplasma pneumoniae Pneumonia
Respiration, 2009Four cases of severe Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection are reported which were treated in a single hospital over the course of 4 years. The difficulties in the diagnosis of M. pneumoniae infections are eminently demonstrated by these cases. Because of the fact that it generally takes 2–3 weeks to make this diagnosis, the physician must utilize clues of ...

Mycoplasma pneumoniae ecephalitis
Seminars in Pediatric Infectious Diseases, 2003Mycoplasma pneumoniae causes between 5 and 10 percent of acute childhood encephalitis in Europe and North America. Encephalitis due to this organism may be caused by direct infection of the brain, immune-mediated brain injury or thromboembolic phenomenon. The prognosis is guarded with 20 to 60 percent suffering neurologic sequelae.

Mycoplasma-pneumoniae-Enzephalitis
RöFo - Fortschritte auf dem Gebiet der Röntgenstrahlen und der bildgebenden Verfahren, 1987Clinical, CT and, in one case, autopsy findings indicated a diagnosis of a severe necrotising encephalitis in two patients. Although usually herpes simplex virus is blamed for this form of encephalitis, it was possible to prove in these two patients that Mycoplasma was the causative agent of the disease. It is concluded that this organism can produce a

Abstract Twenty-six of 55 members and pledges of a college fraternity became infected with Mycoplasma pneumoniae over a three-week period in the fall of 1968. The epidemic curve suggested a common source of exposure. The only period in which members and pledges shared a common environment before the outbreak was on a single day when all were present at

Chlamydia pneumoniaeandMycoplasma pneumoniae
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2005Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection occurs worldwide and is the most common cause of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in 5- to 20-year-olds. The most reliable diagnostic test is the enzyme immunoassay, which allows immunoglobulin (Ig)G and IgM titration and presents 92% sensitivity and 95% specificity on paired samples.
