Brachial Artery Thrombosis in an 8-year-old Boy with Antiphospholipid Antibodies Induced by Mycoplasma pneumoniae Infection: a Case Report
Antiphospholipid antibodies may be produced in cases involving autoimmune diseases and can sometimes be caused by infections, such as Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. However, antiphospholipid antibodies causing thrombosis associated with M. pneumoniae pneumonia in children have rarely been reported. We report a case of an 8-year-old boy with M. pneumoniae pneumonia with antiphospholipid antibodies, complicated by brachial artery thrombosis. He was found to have antiphospholipid antibodies and low protein S levels. The brachial artery thrombus was removed via thrombectomy. The titers of antiphospholipid antibodies turned normal within 5 months. This is a rare case of M. pneumoniae infection with brachial artery thrombosis associated with transient antiphospholipid antibodies.
期刊介绍:
Pediatric Infection and Vaccine is an official publication of the Korean Society of Pediatric Infectious Diseases and a peer-reviewed, open-access, multidisciplinary journal directed to physicians and other health care professionals who manage infectious diseases of childhood. The editorial board calls for the articles that originate from worldwide research or clinical study groups and the publication is determined by the editors and reviewers who are the experts in the specific field of infectious diseases of childhood. The categories of manuscripts are original articles, case reports, reviews and rapid communication. The Journal is published triannually and distributed to members of the Korean Society of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, medical schools, libraries and related institutes to persue the academic advancement in infectious diseases and to promote active communication between the members and international societies of pediatric infectious diseases. Eventually, the journal aims to contribute to the cure of infectious diseases of childhood and to the improvement of public health.
