Mycoplasma pneumoniae’ya bağlı yoğun parapnömonik efüzyonlu bir olgu sunumu

Mycoplasma pneumoniae infeksiyonu genellikle hafif seyirli ve kendini sınırlayıcıdır. Parapnömonik effüzyon Mycoplasma pneumoniae pnömonisinde sık görülmez. Parapnömonik effüzyonun tedavisi makrolid grubu antibiyotikler ve göğüs tüpü ile yeterli plevral drenajın sağlanmasıdır. Bu yazıda yoğun parapnömonik effüzyonla komplike olan M. pneumoniae infeksiyonlu bir çocuk olgu sunulmuştur. Hastamızda uzamış ateş ve solunum sıkıntısı mevcuttu. Göğüs tüpü ile drenajı takiben pnömotoraks gözlendi.

Massive parapneumonic effusion caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae in a child: A case report.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is usually mild course and self-limited. Parapneumonic effusion is not a common feature of M. pneumoniae. The treatment of parapneumonic effusion is macrolides and chest tube with adequate pleural drainage. We report here on a child with M. pneumoniae infection complicated by massive parapneumonic effusion. Protracted course of fever and respiratory distress was noted in patient. Pneumothorax was occured subsequent to chest tube drainage.
