Abstract

We report on an immunocompromised patient in southeast France who sought care for fever, knee arthritis, and skin erythema. Blood and joint samples were positive for Spiroplasma turonicum, an intracellular gram-negative bacterium generally found in plants, insects, and ticks. Clinicians should be aware of possible S. turonicum infection in immunocompromised patients.
