RESUMO
We report a case of Mycoplasma hominis septicemia in a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and prostatic obstruction. Signs of sepsis followed urinary catheterization, and M. hominis was recovered repeatedly from blood, urine, and pleural fluid. Detection in blood was accomplished by routine subculture from grossly negative blood culture bottles.
