Abstract:

Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations, treatment and prognosis of pediatric Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP)-associated optic neuritis (ON). Methods The clinical data of 1 child with MP-ON were retrospectively analyzed, and the cases of MP-ON in domestic and foreign databases were retrieved and analyzed. Results The patient was a 10-year-old prepubertal girl, and her onset symptoms were fever and headache. Her serum MP antibody titer was >1:1280. After intravenous infusion of azithromycin, the child's fever and headache were quickly relieved. On day 23 of the disease course, the patient developed acute vision loss with pain of eye rotation, visual field defects, papilledema, and abnormal visual evoked potentials. There were no other manifestations of nervous system involvement and no manifestations of encephalopathy. Laboratory test found positive serum myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-antibody (MOG-Ab). Cerebrospinal fluid and MRI results were abnormal. After intravenous infusion of high dose methylprednisolone combined with human immunoglobulin, the vision of the child returned to the pre-onset level, and no recurrence was observed 3 months later. Conclusions MP infection can be complicated by ON, which is related to demyelinating changes caused by autoimmunity or immune complex. Intractable headache has suggestive significance. Serum antibodies detection of central nervous system demyelinating disease is beneficial to clinical classification and guidance of treatment.
