Successful treatment of post-neurosurgical intracranial Mycoplasma hominis infection using gatifloxacin.

K L McCarthy1, D F M Looke.   

Abstract

We describe two cases of intracerebral infection with Mycoplasma hominis following neurosurgery, the first after removal of a colloid cyst, the other after a craniotomy following a motor vehicle accident (MVA). Both infections were successfully treated with parenteral gatifloxacin, with ongoing clindamycin or moxifloxacin for associated osteomyelitis.
