The present case illustrates that antimicrobial susceptibility of Mycoplasma strains is not necessarily predictable and that antibiotic therapy should therefore be guided by in vitro susceptibility testing. Copyright 2016 Elsevier Inc. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A 20-year-old man presented with a 1-month history of blurry vision. Prior to presentation, he completed a 1-week course of oral levofloxacin for community-acquired pneumonia. His visual acuity was 20/25 in the right eye and 20/30 in the left eye. [jamanetwork.com]

The results of a full uveitis workup were negative for antinuclear antibody, rheumatoid factor, antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody, HLA-B27, angiotensin-converting enzyme, Lyme disease, syphilis, and B henselae. [jamanetwork.com]

An extensive infectious and autoimmune workup was pursued. Mycoplasma IgM serology (enzyme immunoassay and confirmatory immunoflourescence) returned positive. She was treated with a course of azithromycin and IvIG with rapid improvement. [neurology.org]

Treatment and prognosis Most patients recover well although a small proportion of patients may develop bronchiectasis in the affected region or Swyer James syndrome. Promoted articles (advertising) [radiopaedia.org]

What Is the Prognosis? This infection often causes wheezing in children with asthma or reactive airways. Most people fully recover from this infection, even when antibiotics are not used. The death rate is quite low. [healthychildren.org]

Meanwhile, rare studies have reported the prognosis of patients with M. pneumoniae infection after treatment [18]. [hindawi.com]

Outlook (Prognosis) Most people recover completely without antibiotics, although antibiotics may speed recovery. In untreated adults, cough and weakness can last for up to a month. [ufhealth.org]
