Figure 5 Autopsy Mycoplasma DNA analysis
Autopsy Mycoplasma DNA analysis DNA was isolated from the right hemisphere of the brain in an area of hemorrhage and normal brain from the autopsy of our patient as well as the right lung. PCR test for Mycoplasma DNA is shown above. A corresponding 167–base pair (bp) band, as seen in the control, is noted in all the right lung fields (upper, middle, and lower) and diseased brain consistent with amplification of Mycoplasma DNA. No band for Mycoplasma DNA was seen in normal areas of the brain. The results indicate a recent Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection with brain invasion, which ultimately led to Weston Hurst syndrome.
