Abstract

Mycoplasma pneumoniae produces illness in man ranging from mild upper respiratory tract infection to severe bronchitis and pneumonia. We experienced a case of mycoplasma pneumonia complicated with acute respiratory failure, cold agglutinin hemolytic anemia, pleural effusion, Raynaud's phenominon and hepatitis in 27-year-old female. She was diagnosed as having mycoplasma pneumonia by detecting mycoplasma antibody and cold agglutinin test and treated effectively with erythromycin.
