A Case of Fatal Myocarditis Associated with Mycoplasma pneumoniae Pneumonia / 소아감염

Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a common cause of respiratory tract infections. And M. pneumoniae infection frequently manifests with extrapulmonary symptoms such as central nervous system complications, skin or mucosal involvement, and gastrointestinal problems. However, cardiac complications associated with M. pneumoniae are rarely reported. We report the case of a 47-month-old girl who died of fulminant myocarditis associated with M. pneumoniae pneumonia.
