    Author: Barreira ER, Souza DC, Góes PF, Bousso A.
    Journal: Clin Pediatr (Phila); 2009 Apr; 48(3):320-2. PubMed ID: 19023109.
    Abstract:
    Mycoplasma pneumoniae is an important causative agent of respiratory infection in childhood. Although the infection caused by M. pneumoniae is classically described as benign, severe and life-threatening pulmonary and extrapulmonary complications can occur. This study describes the first case of septic shock related to M. pneumoniae in a child with necrotizing pneumonitis, severe encephalitis, and multiple organs involvement, with a favorable outcome after lobectomy and systemic corticosteroids.
