Abstract：
:A 50-year-old man with no medical history was admitted because of progressive respiratory distress, aseptic meningitis, disseminated intravascular coagulation, cholestatic hepatitis, and renal failure. Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection was confirmed serologically. The patient was treated with erythromycin and showed a favorable recovery. Although M. pneumoniae infection is usually a benign, self-limited acute respiratory disease, on rare occasions it can manifest itself with a fulminant course and multi-organ involvement, even in normal healthy individuals.
