Cardiac Manifestations of Mycoplasma pneumoniae Infections: A Cohort Study 2007-2024.

ABSTRACT:

Background

While Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) infections typically present as a respiratory disease, extrapulmonary manifestations are well-documented. Historically, cardiac involvement has been considered uncommon (1%-2%); however, recent observations suggest higher rates, especially in MP ICU patients. This study aims to characterize the prevalence, clinical spectrum, and outcomes of hospitalized patients with MP and cardiac manifestations.

Methods

We conducted a cohort study at Hadassah Medical Center, Jerusalem, Israel, including all inpatients with a positive PCR for MP from 2007 to mid-2024. Cardiac involvement included congestive heart failure (CHF), arrhythmias, acute coronary syndrome (ACS), peri/myocarditis, and isolated troponin elevation.
