Medical literature discusses the immunogenicity of Mycoplasma pneumoniae and the capability of this bacteria to increase the risk of thrombosis-related events. We present the case of a two-year-old female patient, unvaccinated, with a recent measles infection, who is admitted to the hospital for fever and dyspnea. Serological screening discovered a Mycoplasma infection, paired with the imagistic proof of multiple deep vein thromboses. The evolution was favorable after treatment.
