Congenital pneumonia due to Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
A case of probable vertical transmission of Mycoplasma pneumoniae is presented. The presence of M pneumoniae was demonstrated by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the nasopharyngeal aspirate of a newborn who developed pneumonia shortly after birth. This result was confirmed by performing a second PCR, amplifying another part of the genome of M pneumoniae. It is concluded that M pneumoniae ...
متن کامل[Clinical score to rule out pneumonia due to Mycoplasma pneumoniae].
INTRODUCTION The gold standard for the diagnosis of pneumonia secondary to Mycoplasma pneumoniae is the serial measurement of IgM, since an isolated test for IgM has a poor sensitivity of 31.8%. A pneumonia due to Mycoplasma pneumoniae could be of clinically different origins, thus it is possible to perform a clinical score for its early diagnosis. OBJECTIVE To develop a clinical score in ord...

partial volume), or disease-related.3 Disease-related artefacts have been reported to include impacted mucus in the bronchi, perivascular edema, or pulmonary artery sarcoma. However, as far as we are aware, this is the first description of structural changes (such as presented by our 2 patient) causing anatomical distortion of the pulmonary arteries, that in turn produced intravascular turbulen...
متن کاملRapidly progressive glomerulonephritis following Chlamydia pneumoniae pneumonia in a child
Acute renal failure following Chlamydia pneumoniae pneumonia is rarely reported in adults. We present an observation in a 6-year-old child, with hydronephrosis of 3 degrees to the right and the left uninhabited lodge from birth, who had C. pneumoniae pneumonia treated with macrolide antibiotics for a period of 10 days, without any other nephrotoxic drug, in particular nonsteroidal anti-inflamma...
متن کاملNon-specific interstitial pneumonia and Chlamydia pneumoniae infection.
Recently, the clinical features of non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) have been described. We hypothesize that recurrent infection caused by Chlamydia pneumoniae may play a role in the pathogenesis of NSIP. To prove this, we quantified serum IgA and IgG antibodies against C. pneumoniae using the enzyme linked-immunosorbent assay kit. The study included 15 patients diagnosed with NSIP, 2...
