Resumo
Mycoplasma pneumoniae foi isolado e identificado a
partir de material da orofaringe de uma criança de 13 anos de idade que apresentava, ao estudo radíográfíco, aspecto de broncopneumonia no lobo inferior esquerdo. Os exames sorológicos demonstraram aumento significante de anti-
corpos contra o M. pneurnoniae no soro colhido durante a convalescença da infecção. Não foi evidenciada qualquer alteração de títulos de anticorpos contra AIEngland/42/72, A/Hong Kong/1/68, B/Massachusetts/66, adenovírus e vírus respiratório sincicial. O quadro clínico e a resposta do paciente ao tratamento com a eritromicina não diferiram dos de casos similares relatados na literatura.
