Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a significant cause of acute respiratory disease in children and young adults. We describe a case of a 15-year-old boy who presented with an unusual scarlatiniform rash in the setting of a positive Mycoplasma pneumonia IgM but negative anti-streptolysin antibody. While mycoplasma infections with cutaneous manifestations such as scarlatiniform exanthema have been described in textbooks, there are no reports in the primary literature. We wish to highlight the recognition of alternate presentations of mycoplasma, and briefly discuss the role of molecular mimicry in its pathogenesis.
肺炎支原体是儿童和年轻人急性呼吸道疾病的重要病因。我们描述了一例15岁男孩的病例，该男孩在肺炎支原体IgM阳性但抗链球菌溶血素抗体阴性的情况下出现了不寻常的猩红热样皮疹。虽然教科书上已描述过支原体感染伴有如猩红热样皮疹等皮肤表现，但一级文献中尚无相关报道。我们希望强调对支原体其他表现形式的认识，并简要讨论分子模拟在其发病机制中的作用。
