Abstract
Mycoplasma pneumoniae is well known to cause pulmonary infection. However, it often has extrapulmonary manifestations as well. We diagnosed and treated a 41-year-old female who presented with symptoms of pneumonia along with multisystem involvement, including rash, acute hepatitis, and new onset heart failure that improved with steroids and doxycycline. Subsequent goal-directed medical therapy for non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) coincided with the complete recovery of the left ventricular function in three months. We also did a brief literature review with similar prior reported cases.
