Abstract:
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a common cause of pediatric community-acquired pneumonia.It has been associated with various extrapulmonary manifestations.Pediatric mycoplasma pneumoniae encephalitis is the most common neurologic manifestations.Direct invasion,an immune-mediated mechanism,or neurotoxin production has been proposed.Because mycoplasma pneumoniae encephalitis has a high mortality and a high rate of neurological sequelae,improving the clinicians awareness of the disease,minimizing misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis,have important significance.
