Mycoplasma pneumoniae enfeksiyonunun yol açtığı iki farklı sinir sistemi komplikasyonu

Mycoplasma pneumoniae, üst ve alt solunum yolu infeksiyonlarına sebep olan önemli bir etkendir. Solunum sistemi dışında da bazı klinik tablo ve komplikasyonlara yol açabilir. Meningoensefalit, ensefalit, transvers miyelit, akut dissemine ensefalomiyelit, beyinde infarkt ve Gullian-Barre sendromu etkenin sinir sisteminde sebep olduğu hastalıklar olarak belirtilebilir. Bu çalışmada Mycoplasma pneumoniae infeksiyonuna bağlı meningoensefalit ve Gullian-Barre sendromu gelişen iki vaka sunulmuştur.

Two different nervous system complications of mycoplasma pneumoniae

Mycoplasma pneumoniae is an important agent of the lower and upper respiratory system infections. It may result in some complications and clinical conditions other than infections. Meningoencephalitis, encephalitis, transverse myelitis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, cerebral infarction and Gullian-Barre syndrome are major neurological complications. We present here two cases with meningoencephalitis and Gullian-Barre syndrome secondary to Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection.
