  • Title: [Extra-pulmonary complications in Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections].
    Author: Weiss M, Schmid M, Hess T, Mumenthaler M.
    Journal: Dtsch Med Wochenschr; 1987 Dec 04; 112(49):1896-901. PubMed ID: 3119307.
    Abstract:
    It is not rare that extrapulmonary complications and not pneumonia dominate the clinical picture in infections with Mycoplasma pneumoniae, as is illustrated by three cases. In the first, a young woman developed an acute, but ultimately completely reversible, polyradiculitis after a Mycoplasma pneumonia. The second patient sustained a thoracic transverse myelitis which regressed rapidly and completely under treatment with erythromycin and prednisone. In the third one, the Mycoplasma pneumonia was complicated by a generalized hypersensitivity vasculitis affecting many organs. A largely reversible renal vasculitis was demonstrated angiographically.
