Description
Dongjie Hao and co-authors report a pregnancy lost to a rare bloodstream germ after a cervical stitch, in this 2026 case report. The germ, Mycoplasma hominis, usually lives quietly in the urinary tract and lacks a cell wall, which makes it hard to culture and immune to many standard antibiotics. A thirty-one-year-old woman had a cerclage stitch placed at seventeen weeks for a widening cervix.
Fever followed, and testing found the germ flooding her blood. Despite care, the pregnancy could not be saved and ended in a late miscarriage. The authors warn that women needing cerclage are a high-risk group for this infection. They urge active screening after such procedures and treatment matched to the germ's known drug pattern rather than habit.
