Mycoplasmal pneumonia associated with mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis type II (dense deposit disease). 1984

M Von Bonsdorff, and A Pönkä, and T Törnroth

A 20-year-old man developed pneumonia and glomerulonephritis concomitantly with significantly rising Mycoplasma pneumoniae complement-fixing antibody titres. Renal biopsy showed mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis type II (dense deposit disease). Attempts to demonstrate mycoplasmal antigen in the glomeruli failed. This is the third of five previously reported cases of glomerulonephritis associated with Mycoplasma pneumoniae and exhibiting dense deposit disease.

D011019 Pneumonia, Mycoplasma Interstitial pneumonia caused by extensive infection of the lungs (LUNG) and BRONCHI, particularly the lower lobes of the lungs, by MYCOPLASMA PNEUMONIAE in humans. In SHEEP, it is caused by MYCOPLASMA OVIPNEUMONIAE. In CATTLE, it may be caused by MYCOPLASMA DISPAR.
