A novel hemotropic Mycoplasma (hemoplasma) in a patient with hemolytic anemia and pyrexia.


ABSTRACT: A patient with chronic moderate neutropenia, acute hemolysis, and pyrexia was found to be infected with a novel hemoplasma species. A clinical response to doxycyline was noted, and moxifloxacin was added subsequently to aid infection clearance. This represents the first report of hemolysis in association with confirmed hemoplasma infection in a human.
