TI  - Co-infection with Mycoplasma pneumoniae and human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) in an 
      immunocompetent child with meningoencephalitis: a random association?
PG  - 174-6
AB  - Encephalitis can represent a complication of both Mycoplasma and Human 
      Herpesvirus type 6 infections and, although uncommon, is associated with 
      significant morbidity and mortality. We describe a 13-year-old girl with fever, 
      headache and mental changes with a pattern of concomitant Mycoplasma and Human 
      Herpesvirus-6 infection. The hypothetical relationship between this dual 
      infection and the central nervous system disease is discussed.
