Prostatic Abscess due to Ureaplasma parvum in a Heart Transplant Recipient: Diagnostic Challenges and Clinical Utility of Metagenomics Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS).

Ureaplasma spp. are small and fastidious bacteria that may cause urogenital infections in healthy adults and, in rare cases, invasive disease. These bacteria have been increasingly recognized in immunocompromised patients and have been associated with hyperammonemia syndrome, particularly in lung transplant recipients. In this context, we present a unique clinical case of Ureaplasma parvum prostate abscess, a condition rarely observed in heart transplant recipients, diagnosed using next-generation sequencing (NGS).
