Meningitis and intracranial abscess due to Mycoplasma pneumoniae in a B cell-depleted patient with multiple sclerosis

We here present a case of M. pneumoniae as cause of meningitis and occurrence of an intracranial abscess as a complication of mastoiditis with septic cerebral venous sinus thrombosis in a patient with multiple sclerosis on anti-CD20 therapy.
