ABSTRACT
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is known to be a common respiratory pathogen in children and adolescents. It rarely causes neurologic complications, such as meningitis, encephalitis and cerebellar ataxia, in some patients as extrapulmonary manifestations. Neurologic symptoms, such as impairment of consciousness, seizure and paralysis, in the early stage. We report a case of lobar pneumoia caused by M. pneumoniae which was complicated with status epilepticus and encephalopathy.
