Abstract

Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a common causative agent for childhood pneumonia. However, empyema is a rare presentation. We report a case of a previously well child who presented with a right-sided empyema. M. pneumoniae was confirmed serologically with evidence of a four-fold rise in Mycoplasma IgM titre. The empyema required drainage procedures for more than two weeks. The infection resolved with a course of six weeks of treatment with erythromycin.

摘要

肺炎支原体是儿童肺炎的常见病原体。然而，脓胸是一种罕见的表现形式。我们报告一例既往健康的儿童，该患儿出现右侧脓胸。通过血清学检查确诊为肺炎支原体感染，支原体IgM滴度有四倍升高的证据。该脓胸需要进行两周以上的引流操作。经六周的红霉素治疗后感染得到缓解。
