A 47-year-old man who suffered from fever and dry cough visited a local clinic. His symptoms temporarily improved with oral administration of ciprofloxacin, however, he was admitted to our hospital because of exacerbation. IgM antibody for Mycoplasma pneumoniae was positive and IgM antibody titer for Chlamydophila pneumoniae showed a high value of 7.12 index. Thus, coinfection was diagnosed. The findings of chest X-ray and computed tomography were compatible with atypical pneumonia. Clarithromycin improved his condition, and 10 weeks later, antibody values for Mycoplasma pneumoniae by the particle agglutination test decreased from 10,240 times to 640 times and those by the complement-fixation test also decreased from 1024 times to 256 times. The IgM antibody for Chlamydophila pnetumoniae decreased to 0.13. This is the first case developing coinfection with Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydophila pneumoniae in a middle-aged patient to date.
一名47岁发热伴干咳的男性患者前往当地诊所就诊。口服环丙沙星后其症状暂时改善,但因病情加重入住我院。肺炎支原体IgM抗体呈阳性,肺炎衣原体IgM抗体滴度显示为7.12指数的高值。因此,诊断为合并感染。胸部X线和计算机断层扫描结果符合非典型肺炎。克拉霉素使他的病情得到改善,10周后,颗粒凝集试验检测的肺炎支原体抗体值从10240倍降至640倍,补体结合试验检测的抗体值也从1024倍降至256倍。肺炎衣原体IgM抗体降至0.13。这是迄今为止首例中年患者发生肺炎支原体和肺炎衣原体合并感染的病例。
