title: Aortic thrombus and multiple embolisms during a Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection.
abstract: We report the case of a patient who presented with a thrombus of the aortic arch complicated with splenic, renal and peroneal artery embolisms, associated with transient lupus anticoagulant, during a Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. The outcome was good under antibiotic and anticoagulant treatment. We also review the medical literature on M. pneumoniae-related thromboses.
