Disseminated Ureaplasma urealyticum infection in a hypo-gammaglobulinaemic renal transplant patient

Abstract

We report of a case of severe disseminated U. urealyticum infection in a 35-y-old kidney transplanted patient with CVID. Routine microbiological tests were negative. Six weeks after admission, abscess material was grown on Mycoplasma culture medium yielding U. urealyticum in high titres. The patient responded promptly to appropriate antibiotics.
