Peculiar cold-induced leukoagglutination in Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension in a case of mycoplasma pneumonia

“…The additional supportive diagnostic feature was the presence of leuko-agglutination which is well described in mycoplasma infections. 8 As the neurological symptoms started before the initiation of treatment for pneumonia and avoidance of specific medications like quinolones and tetracyclines in this patient makes the possibility of previously described drug-induced IIH extremely unlikely. 9 Her respiratory, neurological symptoms and signs improved after starting appropriate antibiotics and antiedema measures to reduce intracranial pressure as per recommendations.…”

Leukoagglutination, Mycoplasma pneumoniae Pneumonia, and EDTA Acid Blood

“…We read the report “Peculiar Cold-Induced Leukoagglutination in Mycoplasma pneumoniae Pneumonia” with great interest [ 1 ]. Kubota et al [ 1 ] reported an interesting patient with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia who had leukoagglutination. They noted that this is a rare condition.…”
