Abstract
A case of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia presenting with severe neutropenia, and diagnosed by immunoflourecence test is reported here. The patient was admitted to our clinic with severe neutropenia, and fever. During follow up a pneumonic consolidation was detected by thorax computerized tomography (CT) and anti-IgM was positive for M. pneumoniae serologically. It was concluded that neutropenia can develop due to M. pneumoniae.
