AU - Yamashita, Ryoko. AU - Sasaki, Tsuguo. PY - 1996. Y1 - 1996. N2 - Mycoplasma pneumoniae-specific antibody-secreting cells (ASCs) in the peripheral blond were enumerated with an enzyme-linked immunospot assay in 12 children with mycoplasma pneumonia. Those cells were detected in the acute phases and declined in number in the convalescent stage. The maximum numbers of M. pneumoniae-specific ASCs ranged from 0 to 478 for immunoglobulin G (IgG), 13 to 1,992 for IgM, and 0 to 53 for IgA per 106 peripheral blood mononuclear cells, whereas the total numbers (i.e., including both specific and nonspecific) of immunoglobulin-secreting cells (IgSCs) were as high as 4,000 for both IgG and IgM and 1,000 for IgA per 106 peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Such a great increase in the numbers of total IgSCs in ...

BACKGROUND: Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is a major cause of community-acquired pneumonia in children. We performed a retrospective study to evaluate the clinical impact of the timing of azithromycin treatment in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in high macrolide-resistant prevalence settings. METHODS AND FINDINGS: A total of 623 patients were enrolled in this study and were divided into 2 groups according to the timing of azithromycin therapy. Children who received azithromycin within 3 days (72 hours) after the onset of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia were classified into the early azithromycin treatment group (n = 174), whereas the late azithromycin treatment group (n = 449) comprised children treated with azithromycin more than 72 hours after symptom onset ...

Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) is one of the most common causes of community-acquired pneumonia in children and young adults. Although MP sometimes causes self-limiting pneumonia, severe and fulminant cases with hypoxia occur, but their clinical features

The chest radiographs of 60 adult patients with serologically proven mycoplasma pneumonia were reviewed. Confluent or patchy consolidation was most commonly seen, and involved one lobe only in 40% of patients. Widespread nodular opacities were seen much less frequently (7%). Pleural fluid was rare. Complete resolution was almost invariable, 40% of radiographs having cleared by four weeks and 96% by eight weeks.. ...

Atypical pneumonia, also known as walking pneumonia, is the type of pneumonia not caused by one of the pathogens most commonly associated with the disease. Its clinical presentation contrasts to that of typical pneumonia. A variety of microorganisms can cause it. When it develops independently from another disease it is called primary atypical pneumonia (PAP). The term was introduced in the 1930s and was contrasted with the bacterial pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, at that time the best known and most commonly occurring form of pneumonia. The distinction was historically considered important, as it differentiated those more likely to present with typical respiratory symptoms and lobar pneumonia from those more likely to present with atypical generalized symptoms (such as fever, headache, sweating and myalgia) and bronchopneumonia. Distinction between atypical and typical pneumonia is, however, medically insufficient. For the treatment of pneumonia, it is important to know the ...

Walking pneumonia is a respiratory infection which affects the lungs. It is a milder infection than pneumonia and is also known as community acquired pneumonia, atypical pneumonia, and mycoplasma pneumonia. It is a contagious disease which requires long term contact with the infected person for transmission of the illness.

In Korea, Mycoplasma pneumoniae was detected in 255/2,089 respiratory specimens collected during 2000-2011; 80 isolates carried 23S rRNA gene mutations, and 69/123 culture-positive samples with the mutation were resistant to 5 macrolides. During 2000-2011, prevalence of the mutation increased substantially. These findings have critical implications for the treatment of children with mycoplasma pneumonia ...

Background: High incidence of childhood community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), changes in CAP manifestations, reduced significance of classical diagnostic criteria, leading to inadequate treatment, work against lowering risk of complications and mortality.. Aim: To study the features of actual clinical course of pediatric CAP.. Methods: 64 patients aged 1-18 years, with clinically and radiographically diagnosed CAP with detection of serum antibodies against intracellular pathogens, were followed up for 12 months. Patients were divided into two age groups: aged 1-4 (group A, n = 24) and 5-18 (group B, n= 40). All patients had numerous phenotypic signs of heritable connective tissue disorders (HCTD).. Results: All patients had indistinct clinical manifestations. Recurrent course of CAP was in 54(84.4%) patients. CAP caused by Chlamydophila pneumonia (Cp) was more frequent in group A - in 23 patients (95.9% of the group), by Mycoplasma pneumonia (Mp) - in group B, in 37 patients (92.5% of the ...

He started out with 3 treatments a week for 3 weeks and then went down to treatments 2 treatments. We saw some progress but when he went down to 2 treatments, he started going backwards again. Our doctor quickly bumped him up to 3 treatments a week again for 11 weeks. We stayed at the Ronald McDonald house to avoid traveling 3 days a week. A one way trip to the hospital was 150 miles. Since doing this treatment my son has not had any strep or mycoplasma pneumonia bacteria infe ...

Background A growing number of severe pneumonia (MPP) cases have already been reported recently. and could reach 50 to 80% before regional outbreak [1, 2]. MPP is referred to as gentle and self-limited usually; however, increasingly more serious and even fatal instances of MPP with serious complications such as for example pulmonary necrosis and chronic interstitial fibrosis have already been reported lately [3C5]. Macrolide-resistant and extreme immunological inflammation are generally within serious MPP [6] also. Therefore, it is vital for pediatricians to identify serious MPP early, address it promptly, and stop the development of the condition effectively. However, the system and etiology of severe MPP are largely unknown. Based on published hypotheses, severe MPP is considered as a hyper-immune response that originates from repeated or longer lasting childhood MP infections in the lung [7]; further, severe MPP can be an overactive innate immune response such as macrophage activation via ...

We evaluated isolates obtained from children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection throughout Japan during 2008-2015. The highest prevalence of macrolide-resistant M. pneumoniae was 81.6% in 2012, followed by 59.3% in 2014 and 43.6% in 2015. The prevalence of macrolide-resistant M. pneumoniae among children in Japan has decreased.

An unrecognized epidemic of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in Vienna.: Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection shows epidemiological peaks with a 2- to 10-fold increas

The aim of the study presented here was to determine the prevalence of Chlamydia pneumoniae versus Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections in paediatric patients with community-acquired pneumonia. A total of 50 patients (mean age, 5.5 years; median, 3.9 years) with community-acquired pneumonia were enrolled. Four patients were found to have Chlamydia pneumoniae infection (1 culture positive, 1 PCR positive and 2 serology positive) and 16 patients had Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection (2 PCR positive, 4 PCR and serology positive, 10 serology positive), including three patients with coinfection. The rates of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection were 22 aged 1-3, ,3-7 and ,7 years, respectively. Acute Chlamydia pneumoniae infection was substantially less common than Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in our study cohort ...

Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection could be found in 16 from 92 children treated for respiratory disease in a Hungarian hospital. It was verified by growth inhibition test or by culturing germs from bronchial secretions. Seroology proved to be more effective than culture for identification. Illnesses due to Mycoplasma pneumoniae seem to be more frequent in the age group 0--3 years in Hungary than they are in western countries in the same age group. The authors assume that this high frequency is caused because children in this country are earlier admitted to community facilities (crèche, kindergarten, hospital) than in western countries. Therefore mycoplasma pneumoniae infection must be paid attention to also in acute respiratory diseases in the first 3 years of life, when children are admitted to community facilities.

We characterized this illness as mucositis secondary to atypical pneumonia, not meeting the classic diagnosis of SJS due to lack of skin lesions. According to Schalock and Dinulos,4 patients with disease limited to the mucous membranes are not at risk for widespread skin involvement and often recover faster than children with skin involvement, making diagnosis important for prognosis.. Question: Does this patient have M pneumoniae-associated mucositis?. Discussion: Isolated mucous membrane involvement in patients with M pneumoniae infection has been described in the literature on multiple occasions, sometimes called atypical SJS, SJS without skin lesions, and MPAM (M pneumoniae-associated mucositis).5 Our patient had a classic clinical course for M pneumoniae, with consistent chest radiograph findings and mucositis as described earlier. Empirical therapy for M pneumoniae was begun by his treating physician before hospital admission. As part of his diagnostic evaluation, the patients M ...

An increased number of refractory mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) pneumonia (MPP) cases have been reported. However the duration of MP infection in lower airway and the course of anti-MP treatment remains unclear. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 94 MPP children. Patients were classified into two groups. The long-term group (Group LT) was defined as bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) remained MP-positive by PCR after 30 days of the disease course. The non-long-term group (Group NLT) was defined as BALF became MP-negative by PCR within 30 days of disease and patients who only needed one bronchoscopy lavage therapy. MP loads, clinical outcomes were analyzed along with other clinical measurements. The average levels of inflammatory markers such as C reactive protein and lactate dehydrogenase in Group LT were significantly higher than those in Group NLT. Airway and lung damage in Group LT were more severe than Group NLT. 28 patients developed necrotizing pneumonia and 8 patients developed

BACKGROUND: It is unclear whether the responses of refractory and common Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) pneumonia to macrolides differ. Hence, this study aimed to identify biomarkers that may be used to distinguish refractory and common pneumonias caused by MP in children at hospital admission. METHODS: The study included 123 children divided into five groups according to infection agent and treatment protocol: Group I included those with MP infection without documented viral infection, treated with only macrolides; Group II included those with MP infection without documented viral infection, treated with a combination of macrolides and methylprednisolone; Group III included those with MP infection and documented viral infection, treated with only macrolides; Group IV included those with viral pneumonia without documented MP infection; Group V was the control group composed of admitted children without MP or a documented viral infection. These five groups were further subdivided into Groups A ...

Chronic Mycoplasma pneumonia and Chlamydia pneumonia infections are associated with the onset and exacerbation of asthma. These microbial infections result in chronic lower airway inflammation, impaired mucociliary clearance, an increase in mucous production and eventually asthma. Furthermore, children who experience severe viral respiratory infections early in life have a high possibility of having asthma later in their childhood. These viral respiratory infections are mostly caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human rhinovirus (HRV). Although RSV infections increase the risk of asthma in early childhood, the association between asthma and RSV decreases with increasing age. HRV on the other hand is an important cause of bronchiolitis and is strongly associated with asthma development. In children and adults with established asthma, viral upper respiratory tract infections (URIs), especially HRVs infections, can produce acute exacerbations of asthma. Thus, Chlamydia pneumoniae, ...

We report a fatal case of haemolytic crisis mimicking a pulmonary embolism in a previously healthy 42-year-old African man. The patient was admitted to hospital with fatigue, shortness of breath and jaundice lasting for 2 days. Laboratory tests were consistent with haemolysis and inflammation. The patient was treated as having a mycoplasma pneumonia. His condition deteriorated rapidly, with respiratory distress and circulatory failure. Echocardiography showed pulmonary hypertension and right heart dilation. Despite the fact that he was given fibrinolysis for suspected pulmonary embolism, he developed cardiac arrest and died after a long-lasting resuscitation attempt. Postmortem examinations revealed that the patient had a glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency and disseminated intravascular coagulation with pulmonary microthrombi. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of death caused by right heart failure due to microvascular obstruction resulting from multiple ...

An important role in the treatment regimens for Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections is played by macrolide (ML) antibiotics. In the past few years, however, a steady increase has been detected in the worldwide prevalence of ML-resistant (MLr) M. pneumoniae strains. It is obvious that this increase necessitates a continuous monitoring of MLr and, when detected, modification of antibiotic treatment modalities. Previously, we developed a pyrosequencing-based assay system for the genetic determination of MLr as well as molecular typing of M. pneumoniae. In this study, the sensitivity of this system was improved by the inclusion of a nested-PCR protocol. The modified system was applied to 114 M. pneumoniae-positive specimens that were obtained from a collection of 4,390 samples from patients with acute respiratory tract infections. These samples were collected between 1997 and 2008 in The Netherlands. The pyrosequencing system produced reliable data in 86% of the specimens that contained ,500 M. ...

Dabbing » is the inhalation of concentrated marijuana, usually in butane solvent. This case report illustrates a previously healthy 25-year-old caucasian male with a 10-year history of cannabis butane hash oil (BHO) use. The patient presented with dyspnea and cough. The evaluation included a chest x-ray, basic laboratory investigations, computerized tomography angiogram of the chest and echocardiogram. Patient was diagnosed with acute lung injury mimicking atypical pneumonia. He was treated with steroids and had clinically improved and advised to stop dabbing. Further studies are needed to elucidate the full spectrum of the adverse effects of dabbing.. PMID: 32211266 [PubMed]. ...

In this study, IgM serology diagnosed a current M. pneumoniae pneumonia in the highest number of children. The age of 21% of the patients diagnosed as having M. pneumoniaepneumonia was ,5 years. This observation is in contrast to the recently published Canadian guidelines for the diagnosis and management of community-acquired pneumonia, which recommend detection of M. pneumoniae IgM only in children ≥5 years of age (14). Also, other studies have shown that M. pneumoniae infections in young children are detectable by IgM serology (6, 7). In the present study, these young patients were hospitalized, which underlies the importance of the use of appropriate diagnostic methods.. We evaluated the commercial IgM-capture immunoassay for the serodiagnosis of M. pneumoniae infections in children with pneumonia. As reference methods we used IgG serology, culture, PCR, and, for patients with discordant results, a classic IgM test with solid-phase antigen. Each technique was carried out in a separate ...
