Intrarenal Abscesses Due to <i>Ureaplasma urealyticum</i> in a Transplanted Kidney

Abstract

A young woman developed multiple abscesses in her transplanted kidney. Amplification of the 16S rRNA gene with subsequent sequencing revealed Ureaplasma urealyticum as the infectious agent. Microbiological diagnosis and sensitivity testing led to therapy with levofloxacin, resulting in rapid recovery of the patient.
