Kasmani, Rahil MD, MRCP; Elkambergy, Hossam MD; Okoli, Kelechi MD, MRCP
Abstract
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is
due to disruption of the body's autonomic system. Infections, especially
viral, have been postulated as possible triggers for this syndrome. Mycoplasma pneumoniae
has never been reported to be associated with POTS though most of the
organism's extrapulmonary manifestations have an immune basis. We report
a case of POTS associated with acute mycoplasma infection.
