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

New England Journal of Medicine, 1971
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.

CONGENITAL MYCOPLASMA PNEUMONIAE PNEUMONIA IN A NEONATE
Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2008A fatal case of vertical transmission of Mycoplasma pneumoniae manifesting as congenital pneumonia in a neonate is presented. The diagnosis was based on the detection of DNA by polymerase chain reaction on the neonatal nasopharyngeal aspirates and placenta and rising titers of maternal anti Mycoplasma antibodies by complement fixation test.

The incidence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia.
The Journal of the American Board of Family Practice, 1997Mycoplasma pneumoniae has been considered a pathogen for humans since the 1940s. Of the 12 species of Mycoplasma found in humans, M pneumoniae is the most widely recognized pathogen. Morbidity from M pneumoniae results from the combined direct effect of cytotoxins produced by the organisms and the indirect effect of inflammatory responses to the ...
