Mycoplasma hominis has been associated with pelvic inflammatory illness, postpartum and neonatal infections and respiratory tract diseases. It is rarely isolated from patients with other infections. Reported here is a case of tibial osteitis that occurred in a 16-year-old immunocompetent man. Clinical and laboratory findings improved under treatment with clindamycin and fluoroquinolones.
