Mycoplasma hominis. A cause of neonatal meningitis.

M Gewitz, R Dinwiddie, L Rees, O Volikas, T Yuille, B O'Connell, W C Marshall.   

Abstract

Two cases of Mycoplasma hominis meningitis in the newborn are described. These infants demonstrate the need to consider M. hominis as a cause of neonatal meningitis, especially if the Gram stain is negative, conventional cultures yield no growth, and there is a history of maternal infection. CSF cultures on appropriate medium can quickly confirm the diagnosis.
