Document: There is limited evidence for other therapies like intravenous immunoglobulin and cyclophosphamide. [1] [2] [3] Rehabilitation and physical therapy role are essential in the management. Children generally have a better outcome than adults with 50% of pediatric cases making a complete recovery by 2 years. 1-3 Yet it is important to remember that M. pneumoniae induced transverse myelitis can result in significant neurological sequalae despite appropriate treatment. 8 Infants tend to have a worse outcome possibly due to inability of their immature nervous system to recover and higher incidence of LETM in this age group. 1 Mortality is associated with respiratory failure and high cervical cord lesions. Risk factors for relapse are female gender and abnormal brain MRI. 1
