Mycoplasma arginini Cellulitis, Tenosynovitis and Arthritis in a Kidney Transplant Recipient: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenges. Mycoplasma arginini Cellulitis, Tenosynovitis and Arthritis in a Kidney Transplant Recipient: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenges

Mycoplasma arginini, a rare bacterium primarily found in animals, is rarely documented in human infections. This case highlights its potential as a pathogen in immunosuppressed individuals with animal contact. It emphasizes the critical role of molecular diagnostics in detecting fastidious pathogens when conventional cultures fail, enabling targeted antibiotic therapy and improving clinical outcomes.
