| Abstract |
|
Mycoplasma pneumoniae has been shown to be of etiologic importance in cases of upper-and lower-respiratory tract infections, especially in children and young adults. It may cause a variety of extrapulmonary manifestations in multiple organ systems, most commonly the central nervous system. The extrapulmonary syndromes include meningitis, cerebral infarction, acute transverse myelitis, psychosis, cerebellar ataxia, Guillain-Barré syndrome and Reye syndrome. Cerebral infarction as a complication of mycoplasma infection in children has been rarely reported. We report the first documented case in Korea of cerebral infarction preceded by M. pneumoniae pneumonia in a 7-year-old boy, with a brief review of literatures. |
