Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Encephalitis

Mycoplasma pneumoniae‐associated encephalitis complicated by cerebral salt wasting syndrome

Cerebral salt wasting syndrome can occur in children with encephalitis. Clinicians should be aware of hyponatremia in patients who develop polyuria with the signs of dehydration and deteriorated consciousness. Furthermore, patients who present with status epilepticus or who are suspected to have high intracranial pressure may have an increased risk of cerebral salt wasting syndrome.

Swiss national prospective surveillance of paediatric Mycoplasma pneumoniae-associated encephalitis.

OBJECTIVE To assess the presence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae-associated encephalitis in children in Switzerland and its likely pathogenesis. METHODS M. pneumoniae-associated encephalitis cases seen at a single-centre during 2010-2013 were reviewed, and the Swiss Paediatric Surveillance Unit (SPSU) prospectively conducted a nationwide surveillance 2013-2015. Case definition included confirmed, pr...
