Abstract
Mycoplasma species are recognized as important pathogens in patients with hypogammaglobulinemia. In this article we describe, for the first time, a patient with hypogammaglobulinemia who developed osteomyelitis of the hip caused by Ureaplasma urealyticum. This article emphasizes the need for considering infection with Mycoplasma species in patients with antibody deficiency.
