Acute mycoplasma pneumoniae encephalitis in an adult

Mycoplasma pneumonia is an atypical bacterium that causes mild respiratory tract infections, especially in the upper respiratory system. Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is infrequently associated with various CNS manifestations such as encephalitis, meningoencephalitis, myelitis, Guillain-Barre synd...
