摘要
En 中文
Mycoplasmas, particularly Mycoplasma pneumoniae, have been implicated as causative agents in a large variety of central nervous system diseases, especially acute childhood encephalitis. Postulated pathomechanisms for mycoplasma-mediated neurological disease have included: direct infection, autoimmunity, and vascular occlusion. Neuropathologic data are meager and are reviewed. We report a 3-year-old boy, who developed signs and symptoms of encephalitis 7 days after the onset of fever with cough and death 5 days later. At autopsy, he displayed diffuse vasogenic edema and perivascular to infiltrative inflammatory cells, the latter most prominent in gray matter of brainstem and amygdala. The predominant cell was the CD68-positive macrophage, followed by the T-lymphocyte. Cells immunolabeled with a polyclonal antibody to M. pneumoniae included perivascular to parenchymal macrophages/microglia, occasional oligodendrocytes, and neurons, particularly in brainstem. Affected neurons varied from morphologically normal to profoundly degenerate and necrotic. Ultrastructural study of the inferior olive confirmed the presence of 260-600 nm cell-wall-free microorganisms, consistent with mycoplasma, in perivascular cells and neurons. Foci of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis also were rarely identified. This case report confirms the postulated role of direct infection of brain by mycoplasma in acute childhood encephalitis, but also reveals a virus-like infection of central neurons. The pathogenesis of acute childhood encephalitis due to mycoplasma seems to be multifactorial.
