Abstract

Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a common pathogen of community-acquired pneumonia. Mycoplasma pneumonia causes upper and lower respiratory tract symptoms in all age groups, with the highest attack rates in subjects 5 to 20 years old. In patients with mycoplasma pneumonia, the most common radiographic findings may be reticulonodular or interstitial infiltration, which have a predilection for the lower lobes. Findings that show lung collapse on a chest X-ray are very rare. We report a case of mycoplasma pneumonia that showed right upper lobe collapse.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae에 의한 폐렴의 임상양상은 다양하다고 알려져 있으며, 흉부 방사선 소견상 대부분 기관지 주위 폐렴이나 반점형 폐 침윤 양상을 보이고 폐허탈은 5% 정도로 매우 드물게 발생하는 것으로 되어 있다. 본 저자들은 미열, 두통, 건성 기침, 근육통 등 비정형적인 폐렴의 증상을 보이면서 대엽성 무기 폐로 발현한, 마이코플라즈마 폐렴을 경험하였기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.
