Meningoencephalitis and otitis media in a child withMycoplasma pneumoniaeinfection

Abstract: We report on a previously healthy 11-year-old male presenting with meningoencephalitis and otitis media. Computed tomography demonstrated opacification of the right middle ear and mastoid ear cells, but no destructive changes. Anti-Mycoplasma pneumoniae IgG and IgM were positive in serum and at high concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and its nucleic acid was detected in the middle ear fluid and in a throat swab, but not in CSF. EEG showed generalized slowing and right temporal sharp waves. Brain MRI … Show more

“…Bacterium, virus, fungus and mycoplasma can lead to viral encephalitis with inflammatory lesions, and the most prevalent encephalitis mainly consists of viral encephalitis. The child patients' main symptoms include headache, fever and vomiting, and child patients with severe viral encephalitis suffer from stress injury ( 2 4 ). Stress response is a kind of non-specific systemic reaction occurring in organisms, and mild stress response can improve the adaptability of human body, while excessive stress response exacerbates function impairment of the human body ( 5 ).…”
