Description

We experimenced a 5-year-old male case of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia accompanying Adenosin Deaminase (ADA) activity in pleural effusion. Chest roentgenograms revealed the infiltration in the left upper lung field and the left pleural effusion. In serum, the M. peumoniae CF titer increased to 1: 512. The pleural effusion was yellowish in color, with a specific gravity of 1.030, protein 3.7 g/dl, gulcose 101 g/dl, and ADA 50 IU/l.<BR>Pleural effusion acconpanying M. pneumoniae pneumonia is rare, and the high ADA activity in this case has been reported only in one other case. This is a report of a high activity of ADA in the pleural fluid by M. pneumoniae pneunonia.
