1 Department of Pediatrics, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston

An 8-year-old girl with a cerebral infarction and pneumonia developed the acute hemiparesis associated with clinical and serologic evidence of Mycoplasma pneumonia infection. Mycoplasma complement fixation titers increased from 1:1,024 on the tenth day of illness to 1:>16,384 at three weeks and subsequently decreased to 1:512 at seven weeks. Total resolution of her facial weakness, hemiparesis, dysphagia and dysarthria occurred by eight weeks.
