Present Illness
A 6 year-old boy suffered from fever offand on for 8 days. He also complained ofcough, rhinorrhea and difficult toexpectorate sputum. He was taken to LMDtwice and our OPD on 91/04/30, but thesymptoms persisted in spite of drugs use.So he was taken to our OPD again on91/05/03. Physical examination revealeddecreased breathing sound on right chest.CXR showed lobar pneumonia.

DISCUSSION

46/68
Mycoplasma Pneumoniae
In 1944, M. pneumoniae was reported byMonroe Eaton, originally called the Eatonagent.
Smallest free-living microorganism,belongs to the class Mollicutes.
Mycoplasmas lack a cell wall, so tend tobe pleomorphic .
8/12/2019 CaseReport Mycoplasma Pneumonia
47/68
Clinical Manifestations
M. pneumoniae causes approximately 20% of allcases of pneumonia.
Peak incidence at 6-21 years of age.
Incubation period of 2-3 weeks.
Transmission by inhalation of infected dropletaerosols.
8/12/2019 CaseReport Mycoplasma Pneumonia
48/68
Pneumonia is the most important clinicalmanifestation of M. pneumoniae infection.
* Bronchopneumonia pattern mostly.Lobar pneumonia and large amountpleural fluid are unusual.
Pediat Radiol 1989;19(8):499-503
* Respiratory disease other thanpneumonia: unspecific URI, pharyngitis,
AOM, croup, sinusitis, bronchitis,bronchiolitis, asthma.
Cutaneous manifestations : common
8/12/2019 CaseReport Mycoplasma Pneumonia
49/68
Cutaneous manifestations : common.* Exanthem and enanthem of Mycoplasma
pneumoniae infection are observed in 5 to24% of cases
AAP, Report of Committee on Infectious Diseases, 1994:333-5
* Most common with an erythematousmaculopapular rash on the trunk and back;discrete (rubelliform) or confluent(morbilliform).
* Most serious presentation: Erythemamultiforme and Stevens-Johnson syndrome .
Clini Pediatrics 1991:30(1),42-9
8/12/2019 CaseReport Mycoplasma Pneumonia
50/68
Hematologic manifestations:* Hemolytic anemia: usually mild,
however, it may become severe andresult in 50% reduction in hemoglobinconcentration.
Pediat Infec Dis J 1998;17(2):173-7
* Direct Coombs test usually positive.
* Steroid administration may bebeneficial.
South Med J 1990;83(9):1106-8
8/12/2019 CaseReport Mycoplasma Pneumonia

Hemolytic anemia is presumablyrelated to the presence of coldagglutinins in serum which at highconcentration, may agglutinateerythrocytes at 37

Gastrointestinal findings are nonspecific withnausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and/or
diarrhea.
Neurologic disease association was reported2.6-4.8%.* Encephalitis, meningitis, transverse
myelitis, psychosis, Bell palsy andGuillain-Barre` syndrome.
Arthritis in association with M.pneumoniaeinfection have not been established.

Hepatitis was once thought to beunusual, but recent studies suggestthat liver dysfunction may be presentin up to 30% of M. pneumoniaeinfection.

Diagnosis (I)
WBC, CRP, ESR are non-specific, may benormal or elevated.Growth of the organism takes weeks,
generally only in expertise laboratories.PCR is sensitive and specific.Serologic testing : Cold agglutinins, titer of
>1:64 is suggestive of infection; Anti-mycoplasmal Ab detection, fourfold orgreater rise are considered diagnostic.

Treatment Erythromycin is the drug of choice.
(40-50mg/kg/24hr q6h for 10-14 days). Newer macrolides:
Azithromycin (10mg/kg on day 1, and5mg/kg/24hr on days 2-5) or
Clarithromycin (15mg/kg/24hr given in two
divided doses for 10 days).

Empiric Therapy for Lobar Pneumonia
Clinically moderate to severely toxic,treat empirically for S. pneumonia, S.pyogens ( and H. influenzae type b inunimmunized children)
In toxic children, tests for Mycoplasmashould be considered because focalpneumonia is a rare presentation

Cefuroxime intravenously, ceftriaxoneor cefotaxime intravenouslyFor anti-staphylococcal coverage, addto the above, either: nafcillin, oxacillin,or clindamycinFor Mycoplasma: intravenouserythromycin or azithromycin; or oralerythromycin, azithromycin, orclarithromycin.

62/68
Pneumonia, with pleural fluid or empyema
Treat empirically for S. pneumonia, S.pyogenes, and S. aureus ( and H.influenzae type b in unimmunized children)
Consider aspiration pneumonia withanaerobic oral flora as pathogens; needle
or catheter aspiration of pleural fluid, withdrainage, is often required for clinical cure.
8/12/2019 CaseReport Mycoplasma Pneumonia
63/68
Ceftriaxone or cefotaxime
For antistaphylococcal covarage, add to theabove either: nafcillin, oxacillin, orclindamycin (also covers anaerobes found in
aspiration pneumonia as well as mostpneumoncocci)
Single agent therapy with meropenem, orticarcillin/clavulanate (Timentin) both ofwhich cover both aerobic and anaerobicpathogens
