Bilateral sensorineural hearing loss associated with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection.
Three cases of persistent bilateral sensorineural hearing loss following Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) infection are reported. These cases were characterized by highly elevated MP complement fixation titer and cold hemagglutinin titer. All the patients had bilateral acute otitis media with a moderate to high degree of mixed hearing loss in the early stage following primary atypical pneumonia (PAP).
