Presentation
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case presenting monosymptomatic visual loss without papillitis, neurological symptoms, and abnormal findings on brain imaging. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
-
Intravenous Administration
He was successfully treated by intravenous administration of prednisolone and was stable without any neurological sequelae 17 months after the onset without medication. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Lower Extremity Pain
His fever and cough began 2 weeks before, and his right upper and lower extremity pains began 2 days before admission. He had initially been treated with clarithromycin followed by tosufloxacin, but his symptoms persisted. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Skin
-
Mucocutaneous Rash
A recent systematic review of 202 cases of mucocutaneous rashes associated with M. pneumoniae infection concluded that these rashes might constitute a distinct entity, for which the term Mycoplasma-induced rash and mucositis was proposed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Bullous Rash
The diffuse, maculopapular, bullous rash with mucosal lesions ultimately reached skin involvement greater than 30%. Histological studies were consistent with TEN. Mycoplasma antibodies and cold agglutinins were positive. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
-
Neglect
Early manifestation of mucosal change without typical skin lesions should not be neglected in the diagnosis of incomplete SJS. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] the amount of energy used for maintenance tasks has been determined by manually fitting the minimum constraint of the respective energy consuming reaction to allow reproduction of the experimentally determined doubling time, those expenses have been neglected [doi.org]
-
Areflexia
A 38-yr-old man who had been treated with antibiotics for serologically proven M. pneumoniae pneumonia presented with a sudden onset of diplopia, ataxic gait, and areflexia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Dysarthria
Symptoms are usually hemiplegia and dysarthria. We report a case of a 6-year-old boy who suffered cortical blindness due to a stroke 2 days after M. pneumoniae infection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
The complexity of aHUS, and the importance of the requirement for full differential diagnostic workup of all HUS cases is further highlighted by the current case history. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
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]
Laboratory workup revealed a Hemoglobin of 13.5 g/ dL, leukocytosis of 23,700 c/mm 3 and platelet count of 57,000 c/mm 3. Moderate renal insufficiency was also present with a creatinine of 2.02. [bloodjournal.org]
X-Ray
-
Right Pleural Effusion
She completed treatment with no noticeable adverse events, and the right pleural effusion disappered and diffuse right pleural thickening improved. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Serum
-
Decreased Platelet Count
We describe a 1-year-old boy with M. pneumoniae respiratory tract infection and associated microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, slightly decreased platelet count and mild renal impairment, suggesting a diagnosis of HUS. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Neisseria Gonorrhoeae
Mutation in 23S rRNA associated with macrolide resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 46 : 3020 -3025. Niitu, Y., S. Hasegawa, T. Suetake, H. Kubota, S. Komatsu, and M. Horikawa. 1970. [doi.org]
-
Plasmodium Falciparum
Plasmodium falciparum and Mycoplasma pneumoniae co-infection occurring in vivo manifests clinical features that are plausibly a result of the interaction between the two microorganisms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Biopsy
-
Liver Biopsy
Laboratory tests and liver biopsy demonstrated a hepatocellular pattern of M. pneumoniae-associated acute hepatitis. Clinical symptoms and laboratory parameters are improved rapidly under treatment with macrolide. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
RESULTS: Seven days after enrollment, the average F 2 after treatment of group A was the shortest. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
As a consequence, adequate antibiotic treatment can be prescribed to the child. Macrolides are the first choice in treatment of MP infection in children. [doi.org]
Prognosis
Mycoplasma pneumoniae-induced acute postinfectious glomerulonephritis has various pathological changes and relatively poor prognosis. It often occurs in children, barely in adults. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology
Mycoplasma is a well-documented etiology of SJS, but rarely documented as an etiology of TEN. This case suggests the potential of Mycoplasma infection causing more severe mucocutaneous disease in the spectrum of SJS and TEN. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
