Аннотация
UNLABELLED: Mycoplasma hominis is a fastidious bacterium, which usually colonizes the lower urogenital tract and may cause systemic infections in neonates and genital infections in adults. It can also be the cause of serious extra-genital infections, mainly in immunosuppressed or predisposed subjects.
CASE PRESENTATION: We describe a case of bacteremia caused by M. hominis in a previously healthy woman after uterine curettage due to incomplete abortion. M. hominis could be an underestimated cause of bacteremia in immunocompetent patients. Mycoplasma organisms have fastidious growth requirements, are often difficult to culture on a cell-free medium and have no cell wall. The conventional method for detection may fail. This is the first report of M. hominis isolation from a positive automated blood culture (BD BACTEC, USA).
