Ureaplasma urealyticum disseminated multifocal abscesses in an immunocompromised adult patient: a case report.
Abstract
Ureaplasma urealyticum is a fastidious bacteria which lacks a cell wall. Extragenital infections are rare in immunocompetent adults. There are few literature reports of perinephric abscess. We present a case of non-resolving multifocal "culture-negative" abscesses in a hypogammaglobulinemic adult female due to U. urealyticum.
