Review Article: Mycoplasma Pneumoniae-Associated Acute Hepatitis
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a major cause of respiratory infections and a possible etiology of acute hepatitis. Acute hepatitis due to M. pneumoniae infection is often combined with presentation of pneumonia, even without lung involvement. The presentations and etiologies of M. pneumoniae-associated hepatitis with simultaneous, delayed, or without, lung involvement are different, and should be discussed separately. The most widely available and effective drug of treatment is macrolides, and its clinical outcome is extremely good.

These microorganisms include viruses (e.g. mumps, Coxsackie B, and hepatitis), bacteria (e.g. Mycoplasma pneumoniae and leptospirosis), and parasites (e.g. Ascaris lumbricoides, Fasciola hepatica, and hydatid dis...
