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]
Entire Body System
- 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]
- Ankle Swelling
A Taiwanese native aboriginal presented with right ankle swelling, erythema, local tenderness, and limitation of range of motion after a vertebroplasty. He had a history of gout without regular follow-up. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- High Fever
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]
Workup
X-Ray
- 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]

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

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]
