Abstract

Mycoplasma pneumoniae usually causes only mild respiratory disease. Severe respiratory failure associated with bronchiolitis is extremely unusual. We describe an in-family spread of M. pneumoniae infection. The father, a 28-year-old smoker male with no previous medical history developed acute bronchiolitis with severe respiratory failure due to M. pneumoniae. He recovered after treatment with combination of antibiotics and corticosteroids. The patient's 55-year-old mother and 2-year-old daughter developed mycoplasma pneumonia, while his 25-year-old wife developed an upper respiratory tract infection. They were also treated successfully with macrolides.

引起家族感染和急性严重呼吸衰竭的肺炎支原体
肺炎支原体通常只引起轻微的呼吸道疾病。严重呼吸衰竭与细支气管炎是极为罕见的。我们描述了一个家庭内传播的肺炎支原体感染。父亲,28岁,吸烟男性,无既往病史,因肺炎支原体感染出现急性细支气管炎并严重呼吸衰竭。在抗生素和皮质类固醇联合治疗后,他恢复了健康。病人55岁的母亲和2岁的女儿患支原体肺炎,而他25岁的妻子患上呼吸道感染。他们也成功地用大环内酯类药物治疗。
