Mycoplasma pneumoniae is an important agent of the lower and upper respiratory system infections. It may re­sult in some complications and clinical conditions other than infections. Meningoencephalitis, encephalitis, trans­verse myelitis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, cerebral infarction and Gullian-Barre syndrome are major neurological complications. We present here two cases with meningoencephalitis and Gullian-Barre syndrome secondary to Mycoplasma pneu­moniae infection.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae, üst ve alt solunum yolu in­feksiyonlarına sebep olan önemli bir etkendir. Solunum sistemi dışında da bazı klinik tablo ve komplikasyonlara yol açabilir. Meningoensefalit, ensefalit, transvers miyelit, akut dissemine ensefalomiyelit, beyinde infarkt ve Gulli­an-Barre sendromu etkenin sinir sisteminde sebep oldu­ğu hastalıklar olarak belirtilebilir. Bu çalışmada Mycoplasma pneumoniae infeksiyonuna bağlı meningoensefalit ve Gullian-Barre sendromu geli­şen iki vaka sunulmuştur.
