The relapsing course of this patient, along with a review of prior reported cases, suggests that corticosteroids may be beneficial for mycoplasma encephalitis, that moderate doses may be sufficient, and that consideration should be given to a prolonged[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the brain was suggestive of hemorrhagic encephalitis. The CSF specimen tested by polymerase chain reaction to amplify a 345 base pair region on the P1 adhesin gene of M. pneumoniae was negative.[ijmm.org]

PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal infection) is a disease that results in psychiatric symptoms, including obsessive-compulsivebehaviors, that is triggered by a strep infection.[aealliance.org]
Although these six patients completely recovered without sequela, dysarthria persisted in one patient with MERS and cerebellar lesions. Mild intellectual impairment persisted in one patient with limbic encephalitis.[ci.nii.ac.jp]
The routine diagnostic workup of M. pneumoniae encephalitis should therefore aim for the detection of M. pneumoniae antibodies in both CSF and serum, in addition to M. pneumoniae PCR in CSF.[journals.plos.org]
Workup should include a thorough history and physical exam to determine if the clinical course could be consistent with AE.[aealliance.org]
Treatment with corticosteroids has been proposed for this illness, but experience with this therapy is limited to case reports and small series; neither efficacy nor appropriate courses of treatment are well established.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This case emphasizes the importance of CNS complications of M. pneumoniae and shows that corticosteroid therapy has a place for treatment of mycoplasma encephalitis. The available literature regarding this subject is also presented.[content.iospress.com]
