McCarthy KL, Looke DF Successful treatment of post-neurosurgical intracranial Mycoplasma hominis infection using gatifloxacin. [JOURNAL ARTICLE] J Infect 2008 Aug 15.
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.
