Acute Acalculous Cholecystitis Complicating Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Infection

Abstract

Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection has been associated with extrarespiratory manifestations. Gastrointestinal manifestations, gastroenteritis, hepatitis, and pancreatitis have also been reported.^1,2 There have been no previous reports of acute cholecystitis complicating Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. Acute acalculous cholecystitis is uncommon in childhood. We report on a child with acute cholecystitis during the course of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection.
