Fatal swine influenza A H1N1 and Mycoplasma pneumoniae coinfection in a child

İnfluenza hastalarında en sık ölüm nedenlerinden birisi sekonder bakteriyel infeksiyonlardır. Bu infeksiyonlara en sık neden olan patojenler Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus ve Haemophilus influenzae'dir. H1N1 olgusunda bakteriyel koinfeksiyon tanısı zor olabilir. Ancak influenza benzeri hastalık ve eşlik eden alt solunum yolu infeksiyonu belirti ve bulguları olan çocuklarda şüphelenilmelidir. Bu çalışmada yaygın pnömoni ile başvuran ve 48 saat içinde ölen Mycoplasma pneumoniae ve H1N1 domuz gribi koinfeksiyonu olan bir çocuk hastayı sunuyoruz. Key words: Domuz gribi H1N1, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, koinfeksiyon, ölümcül, çocuk.

Ölümcül domuz gribi: Çocuk hastada H1N1 ve Mycoplasma pneumoniae koinfeksiyonu

One of the most common causes of death in influenza patients is secondary bacterial pneumonia and the most common pathogens involved are Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Haemophilus influenza. To diagnose co infection with bacteria in a H1N1 case can be difficult but should be strongly suspected in a child who present with influenza like illness and lower respiratory tract signs or symptoms. We report coinfection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in swine influenza A H1N1 child who presented with extensive pneumonia and expired within 48 hours.
