title: [Mycoplasma infection in childhood].
abstract: The paper presents the autopsy data concerned with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections disease in children. The diagnosis of the Mycoplasma pneumoniae disease was confirmed by immunofluorescent method. Morphological features of serous desquamative and focal interstitial pneumonia are thought to be strongly marked hyperemia of vessels, especially of microvasculature, diffuse degenerative and inflammatory alterations of bronchi, desquamation pyroninophilic alveolocytes and plasmocytic infiltration of the pulmonary interstitium and the peribronchial follicles and lymph nodes of the tracheal bifurcation. The intrauterine mycoplasmal contamination and likely routes of fetus infection are discussed.
