Case report shows diagnostic challenges of Ureaplasma parvum infection in heart transplant, indicating the role of metagenomics NGS.
Ureaplasma spp. are small and fastidious bacteria that may cause urogenital infections in healthy adults and, in rare cases, invasive disease. These bacteria have been increasingly recognized in immunocompromised patients and have been associated with hyperammonemia syndrome, particularly in lung transplant recipients. In this context, we present a unique clinical case of Ureaplasma parvum prostate abscess, a condition rarely observed in heart transplant recipients, diagnosed using next‐generation sequencing (NGS).
