AB Biopsy samples from seven patients with acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome were screened for Mycoplasma fermentans, M. pneumoniae and M.
genitalium infection by the polymerase chain reaction. M. fermentans DNA
was detected in four patients. Various tissues were evaluated and the
mycoplasma were mainly detected from lymph nodes. Moreover, mycoplasma
genus-specific DNA was isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells
of asymptomatic human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)-infected individuals
(two of 31 HIV-infected individuals). These data suggest that mycoplasma
infection in AIDS patients is not uncommon.
