Pseudomembranous laryngotracheobronchitis due to coinfection with human bocavirus 1 and Mycoplasma pneumoniae: a case report

Abstract: Pseudomembranous laryngotracheobronchitis is rarely reported yet potentially lifethreatening infectious cause of airway obstruction in children. The causative organisms of this condition are often considered to promote bacterial superinfection following viral infection. We report a case of pseudomembranous laryngotracheobronchitis in a patient caused by human bocavirus 1 and Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae). A 2-year-old child was admitted to our hospital presenting with cough, hoarseness, and labored bre… Show more

“…At present, 7 cases utilizing mNGS technology in infant lung infection have been reported, mainly in detecting pathogenic bacteria in the blood and BALF samples, and the results of routine culture in 3 cases were also negative ( Supplementary Table S2 ). 22 , 24–29 According to our report, the three mNGS test results were positive, but the blood culture and multiple sputum culture experiments failed to detect pathogens. In previous diagnostic and treatment plans for children with a lung infection, when the growth of pathogenic bacteria was not found in routine blood culture and sputum culture, it brought great difficulties to diagnosis and treatment.…”
