Leukoagglutination, Mycoplasma pneumoniae Pneumonia, and EDTA Acid Blood
We read the report “Peculiar Cold-Induced Leukoagglutination in Mycoplasma pneumoniae Pneumonia” with great interest [1]. Kubota et al. [1] reported an interesting patient with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia who had leukoagglutination. They noted that this is a rare condition. We agree that the patient had leukoagglutination and Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia. Nevertheless, the leukoagglutina...
متن کاملLeukoagglutination reported as platelet clumps.
Blood cell count was performed on an automated analyzer using an ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) blood specimen and showed normal hemoglobin and leukocytes (7.2 109/L), but a mild thrombocytosis (467 109/L). Platelet clumps were flagged by the cell counter. However, when the peripheral smear was reviewed, there was leukocyte agglutination (shown, left) rather than clumps of platelets. Th...
متن کاملThe prevalence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia hospitalized in intensive care unit
Background: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a type of hospital acquired pneumonia with the mortality rate between 27% and 76% that develops more than 48–72 h after endotracheal intubation. Possible causes leading to this infection can be Mycoplasma pneumoniae. The objective of this study was to determine the presence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in bronchoalveolar samples of patients with ...
متن کاملPrevalence of mycoplasma pneumoniae and macrolide resistance in children with community-acquired pneumonia: a case study in a teaching hospital
Background: Mycoplasma pneumoniae is one of the causes of upper and lower respiratory tract infections especially in children, and antibiotics affecting the cell wall do not affect this type of infection. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae and macrolide resistance in children with community-acquired pneumonia in Kerman city. Methods: This cross-sectional study...
متن کاملEnvironmental and occupational respiratory diseases – 1058. Clinical and diagnostic characteristics of mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in children with lobar pneumonia
Methods We analyzed medical records of 78 children, admitted to Chungnam National University Hospital and diagnosed with lobar pneumonia by chest X-rays between March 2010 and December 2011. White blood cells, C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), specific antibodies to M. pneumoniae, and cold agglutinin (CA) were measured at admission. Children were divided into 2 groups: those with M...
