Mycoplasma pneumoniae meningoencephalitis complicated by diplopia.
We report a case of Mycoplasma pneumoniae meningoencephalitis in which the primary neurologic manifestation was diplopia. Other neurologic findings included bilateral Babinski signs, mental confusion, and bladder incontinence. The patient responded to a course of minocycline and made an uneventful recovery. We report the first known case of Mycoplasma meningoencephalitis with diplopia.
