Parkinsonism caused by infection is uncommon in children. We report 2 previously healthy children with acute self-limiting parkinsonism following Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, with normal brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Our case report expands the phenotype of parkinsonism associated with M. pneumoniae infection. We recommend that children with acute parkinsonism preceded by a period of febrile illness, even with a normal brain MRI, should be investigated for M. pneumoniae infection.
感染所致的帕金森综合征在儿童中并不常见。我们报告了2名先前健康的儿童，在感染肺炎支原体后出现急性自限性帕金森综合征，其脑部磁共振成像（MRI）正常。我们的病例报告扩展了与肺炎支原体感染相关的帕金森综合征的表型。我们建议，对于在发热性疾病发作后出现急性帕金森综合征的儿童，即使脑部MRI正常，也应进行肺炎支原体感染的检查。
