Mycoplasmemia in Adult Male Patients

Abstract

Mycoplasma hominis mycoplasmemia was associated with obstruction, manipulation, or surgery of the genitourinary tract in five adult men. A four-fold increase in specific antibody titer against M hominis was demonstrated in serial convalescent serum obtained from one patient. Two patients became afebrile after treatment with tetracycline; a third recovered without therapy for a Mycoplasm infection. The two remaining patients died of thier underlying diseases.
