Postinfectious Leukoencephalitis Complicating Mycoplasma pneumoniae Infection

Case 1-1999

“…[10][11][12][13][14][20][21][22] This patient's leukocytosis is consistent with the diagnosis of acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis. Cerebrospinal fluid profiles for the two entities are distinct.…”

The Magnetic Resonance Image Appearance of Mycoplasma neumoniae Encephalopathy

“…In this patient, however, high titers of complement-fixing antibodies may have suppressed the organism's growth. Fisher and associates reported on a patient whose CT scan showed a hypodense area in the white matter of the frontal and parietal region with mass effect [2]. At autopsy, these lesions were similar to those seen in both postinfectious encephalitis and acute hemorrhagic encephalitis, with findings of demyelination, perivenous edema, inflammation, and hemorrhagic areas visualized predominantly in the white matter.…”

Post‐infectious central and peripheral nervous system diseases complicating Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection Report of three cases and review of the literature

“…infection. Fisher et al (1983) found an apparent association between M. pn. infection and post-infectious leukoencephalitis in a 50-year-old woman.…”
