Complicated Pediatric Pneumonia due to Ureaplasma parvum : A Case Report.

Ureaplasma parvum , a facultative anaerobic commensal of the urogenital tract, can cause extragenital disease in neonates and immunocompromised individuals. Extragenital detection of U. parvum disease is severely limited by conventional diagnostic techniques. We describe the first case of complicated pneumonia secondary to U. parvum in an immunocompetent pediatric host outside the neonatal period, identified by next-generation sequencing.
