Hemoplasma Infection in HIV-positive Patient, Brazil

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
Hemotrophic mycoplasmas infect a variety of mammals. Although infection in humans is rarely reported, an association with an immunocompromised state has been suggested. We report a case of a Mycoplasma haemofelis–like infection in an HIV-positive patient

Molecular characterization and phylogenetic analysis of hemotropic Mycoplasma in cats in fars province, Iran, and its association with blood groups and hematological alterations [PDF]

BMC Veterinary Research
Blood group antigens are considered to be potential determinants influencing host susceptibility to infectious agents, possibly functioning as cellular receptors that may facilitate bacterial, viral, and protozoal attachment—including Mycoplasma species.

Investigation of Some Clinicopathologic Alterations in Cats Infected With Mycoplasma haemofelis and Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum in Mashhad, Iran: An Observational Cross-Sectional Study. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
This study detected Mycoplasma haemofelis (34.78%) and Candidatus M. haemominutum (65.21%) in 23% of Iranian cats via PCR. Infection correlated with age, gender and outdoor access (*p < 0.05), causing significant hematologic/biochemical changes. No inter‐species differences in clinical presentation emerged between Mhf and CMhm. ABSTRACT Background Data
