We report an atypical presentation of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection observed in a patient with primary hypogamma-globulinemia. Pulmonary miliary was combined with sternal and femoral osteomyelitis. These unusual CT findings could be explained by immunodeficiency with impaired antibody response.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.
