Micoplasmemia en pacientes adultos de sexo masculino
JAMA
|November 29, 1976
Resumen
Las infecciones del torrente sanguíneo por Mycoplasma hominis ocurrieron en cinco hombres sometidos a procedimientos genitourinarios. Los títulos de anticuerpos aumentaron en un paciente, y algunos se recuperaron con o sin tratamiento con tetraciclina.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Urología Urología Urología.
- Enfermedades infecciosas Enfermedades infecciosas.
- Microbiología Microbiología.
Sus antecedentes:
- Mycoplasma hominis es una bacteria que puede causar infecciones.
- La manipulación del tracto genitourinario o la cirugía pueden aumentar el riesgo de infección.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para reportar casos de Mycoplasma hominis bacteremia en hombres adultos.
- Para describir los hallazgos clínicos y los resultados.
Principales métodos:
- Serie de casos que involucran a cinco pacientes adultos de sexo masculino.
- Pruebas serológicas para los anticuerpos de Mycoplasma hominis.
- Monitoreo clínico de la recuperación y los resultados del paciente.
Principales resultados:
- La bacteriemia por Mycoplasma hominis se relacionó con la obstrucción del tracto genitourinario, la manipulación o la cirugía.
- Se observó un aumento de cuatro veces en el título de anticuerpos específicos contra M. hominis en un paciente.
- Dos pacientes mejoraron después del tratamiento con tetraciclina; uno se recuperó espontáneamente. Dos pacientes murieron por enfermedades subyacentes.
Conclusiones:
- La bacteremia por Mycoplasma hominis puede ocurrir en hombres después de procedimientos genitourinarios.
- El tratamiento con tetraciclina puede ser eficaz, pero también es posible la recuperación espontánea.
- Los resultados dependen de la gravedad de la infección y las condiciones subyacentes.

01:31Pulmonary Tuberculosis III
Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infection primarily affecting the lung parenchyma but which can also affect other body parts. TB can be classified based on disease development, presentation, and the affected anatomical site.
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:

01:27Myocarditis II: Clinical Features and Diagnostic Tests
Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle. The symptoms vary widely, encompassing asymptomatic presentations to severe, acute manifestations.Clinical PresentationAsymptomatic cases: In some instances, myocarditis may be asymptomatic, with the infection resolving without intervention. These cases often go undetected unless discovered incidentally through diagnostic imaging or tests conducted for other reasons.General Early Symptoms: Early symptoms of myocarditis are non-specific and can...
01:14Atypical Pneumonia
Atypical pneumonia, often caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae, is a form of pulmonary infection that differs from the classical presentation of bacterial pneumonia in both its cause and clinical symptoms. Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a pleomorphic bacterium notable for its lack of a rigid cell wall. This structural characteristic imparts resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics and significantly influences the bacterium’s behavior within the human host.Other pathogens responsible for the disease include...
01:27Cytomegalovirus Disease
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is caused by human cytomegalovirus, a double-stranded DNA virus of the Herpesviridae family. While primary CMV infection is often asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals, the virus can cause severe disease in neonates and immunocompromised patients. CMV is the most common cause of congenital viral infection in the United States, and a major pathogen in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.CMV is transmitted via bodily fluids, sexual...
01:27Cryptococcal Meningitis
Cryptococcal meningitis is a life-threatening opportunistic infection predominantly associated with HIV/AIDS, accounting for over 100,000 deaths annually worldwide. However, it also affects individuals with other forms of immunosuppression, including those undergoing immunosuppressive therapy, organ transplant recipients, patients with innate immunodeficiencies, and individuals with hematological disorders. The infection is caused mainly by Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii,...
01:28Amebiasis
Entamoeba histolytica, a protozoan parasite, is responsible for intestinal and extraintestinal amebiasis. Though a significant proportion of infections remain asymptomatic, approximately 50 million individuals annually are estimated to present with clinical disease, resulting in up to 100,000 deaths globally. The disease burden is disproportionately high in regions with lower socioeconomic status, such as parts of India, Africa, Mexico, and Latin America.Etiology and TransmissionThe infective...
