Antiphospholipid antibodies and Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection.
Anticardiolipin antibody levels were measured in 57 patients with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection and 21 patients with other infections. Significantly more patients in the mycoplasma group had increased IgM and IgG anticardiolipin. Within the mycoplasma group significantly higher titres were found in patients with severe infection (assessed by need for hospital admission) and in patients with c...
متن کاملTransient cold agglutinin disease with mycoplasma infection.
Cold agglutinins are autoantibodies and are often present in the sera of healthy individuals. They assume importance when the thermal reactivity of these antibodies approaches body temperature. This communication describes a case of cold hemagglutinin disease with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection detected during routine laboratory investigations. The patient was managed conservatively.
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...
متن کاملMacroscopic haemoglobinuria associated with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection successfully treated by clarithromycin.
A 25-year-old man developed macroscopic haemoglobinuria after a persistent dry cough. Although chest radiograph findings were normal, since the serum antibody for Mycoplasma pneumoniae was significantly elevated, a diagnosis infection with this organism was made. Despite the absence of apparent anaemia, a marked increase in serum haemolytic markers and positive result for urine haemoglobin indi...
متن کاملImmune Response in Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Infection 339
Several investigators have demonstrated a sequential synthesis of 19 S and 7 S antibodies upon antigenic stimulation; commonly there is a transient early 19 S response followed subsequently by 7 S production (1-6). The nature of the antigen, however, can influence the kinetics of the 19 S and 7 S antibody response. Thus, certain polysaccharide antigens are known to induce a long lasting 19 S an...
