Abstract
Health care providers need to be aware of the potential for M. hominis as a causal agent in patients who present with pelvic abscesses after vaginal trauma. This case highlights the challenges that exist in the diagnosis and treatment of M. hominis, because bacterial cultures are often negative and empiric antimicrobial agents do not provide adequate antimicrobial coverage.
