We report a 3-year-old boy presenting with a 1-day history of red urine and jaundice. He had productive cough, rhinorrhea and nasal obstruction during the last 4 days and was febrile for 2 days. The laboratory tests indicated autoimmune hemolytic anemia. Chest radiography showed inte rstitial infiltration with haziness of the right lung. Oral macrolide (Zithromax) was given the first day on a dmission. The next day, a respiratory multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) panel test revealed Myco plasma pneumoniae and adenovirus co-infections. Oral prednisolone (1.1 mg/kg/day) was prescribed on hospital day 3 due to progressive anemia (7.2 g/dL). The fever subsided, and the patient showed a favorable recovery, and was discharged on the 6th day with an Hb level of 8.5 g/dL. The Hb level was elevated to 10.2 g/dL with a 7-day administration of oral prednisolone. M. pneumoniae was later confirmed by a bloo d test after discharge of both positive immunoglobulin IgG and IgM antibodies, indicative of a recent infection. We reported a child had a hemolytic anemia during the co-infection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae and adenovirus, and the use of multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) viral and bacterial pathogens panel may provide an early evaluation and a timely therapeutic strategy for the patient. |
