“…Such complications have included encephalitis, cerebellar syndrome and polyradiculitis, cranial nerve palsies, aseptic meningitis or meningoencephalitis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, coma, optic neuritis, diplopia, mental confusion, and acute psychosis secondary to encephalitis (39,98,159,226,264,331,386,392). A number of motor deficiencies have also been described, including cranial nerve palsy, brachial plexus neuropathy, ataxia, choreoathetosis, and ascending paralysis (Guillain-Barré Syndrome) (2,4,9,12,39,44,223,226,319). Encephalitis has been the most common neurological manifestation in children (237).…”

Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a unique bacterium that does not always receive the attention it merits considering the number of illnesses it causes and the degree of morbidity associated with it in both children and adults. Serious infections requiring hospitalization, while rare, occur in both adults and children and may involve multiple organ systems. The severity of disease appears to be related to the degree to which the host immune response reacts to the infection. Extrapulmonary complications involving all of the major organ systems can occur in association with M. pneumoniae infection as a result of direct invasion and/or autoimmune response. The extrapulmonary manifestations are sometimes of greater severity and clinical importance than the primary respiratory infection. Evidence for this organism's contributory role in chronic lung conditions such as asthma is accumulating. Effective management of M. pneumoniae infections can usually be achieved with macrolides, tetracyclines, or fluoroquinolones. As more is learned about the pathogenesis and immune response elicited by M. pneumoniae, improvement in methods for diagnosis and prevention of disease due to this organism may occur

ickerstaff ensefaliti (BE); bir Guillain-Barrè sendromu (GBS) varyantı olan Miller-Fisher sendromu (MFS)'ndan bilinç değişiklikleri ve piramidal traktus bulguları ile ayrılmaktadır. Etiyolojide otoimmünite öne sürülmektedir. Tedavide intravenöz immünglobulin (IVIg), plazmaferez (PF) ve kortikosteroid kullanımının yararlı olduğu bildirilmiştir.Bu çalışmada, bir MFS tablosunun hızla progrese olarak BE'ye dönüş-tüğü bir olgu sunulmuş ve bu tür olguların dikkatle izlenmesi gerektiğinin vurgulanması amaçlanmıştır.Turkiye Klinikleri J Neur 2015;10(2)
