Presentation
We present a 14-year-old girl who developed a pelvic abscess secondary to M. hominis after a vaginal laceration during sexual intercourse. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

-
Ascitic Fluid
Laparotomy revealed the presence of 1.5 litres of ascitic fluid and confirmed right-sided acute pyelonephritis. Culture of urine from the renal pelvis obtained during surgery was positive for Mycoplasma hominis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Perineal Pain
A 59-year-old man developed a high fever, elevated white blood cell count, elevated C-reactive protein level, and perineal pain 5 days after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Treatment with cefmetazole was ineffective. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pulmonary Infiltrate
An 18-year-old woman developed respiratory distress and diffuse pulmonary infiltrates after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. Bronchoalveolar lavage findings indicated diffuse alveolar hemorrhage. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Empirical treatment was initiated, consisting of amoxicillin, cefotaxime, and aciclovir. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Early diagnosis and prompt initiation of appropriate antimicrobial treatment are necessary for a favorable prognosis. Fourth-generation fluoroquinolones, especially moxifloxacin, deserve wider use in such cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Recent studies propose that cytosolic peptidases may be potentially involved as a factor of colorectal cancer and helpful for the identification CRC as a prognosis marker [ 62 ]. [oncotarget.com]

Epidemiology
New molecular PCR-based methods for the detection of mycoplasmas can better define the real epidemiology of these microorganisms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test Mycoplasma hominis has been associated with a number of clinically significant infections, although it is also part of the normal [mayomedicallaboratories.com]
Nevertheless, there are some reports, suggestive of a causal pathophysiologic impact of this bacterium in the lower and upper genital tract. [omicsonline.org]

Prevention
It is not clear, however, whether specific diagnosis of M. hominis should be performed on tissue before grafting in order to prevent such donor-to-host transmission. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
