hypogammaglobulinemic patient with polyarthritis mimicking rheumatoid arthritis finally diagnosed as septic arthritis caused by mycoplasma hominis.hypogammaglobulinemia is a reduction or absence of immunoglobulin, which may be congenital or associated with immunosuppressive therapy. in addition to infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases have also been reported in patients with hypogammaglobulinemia. a 26-year-old man with hypogammaglobulinemia had multiple joint pain and swelling with erosive changes in the proximal interphalangeal joint of the right middle finger on x-ray film, mimicking rheumatoid arthritis (ra). as polyarthritis remain ...201222333381
[mycoplasma hominis may cause soft tissue infections].mycoplasmas belong to the smallest micro-organisms that are independent of animal or plant cells. they are classified as bacteria, since their cultivation does not require any cells. mycoplasma hominis is a commensal of the human urogenital region, but may sometimes cause even life-threatening, slow-healing soft tissue infections. ureaplasma urealyticum may cause similar infections. it is important both for clinicians and the laboratory to suspect mycoplasma, when clinical picture indicates infe ...201122320109
