ABSTRACT
Mycoplasma species (spp.) are predominantly found in the human oropharynx, and extracavity infections are rare. Conventional culture limitations hinder Mycoplasma spp. recovery, potentially causing overlooked infections. Molecular techniques reveal their roles in various infections. Mycoplasma pneumoniae causes pneumonia, while Mycoplasma salivarium (M. salivarium) in empyema is scarcely reported. We present a case of a 61-year-old man who suffered from tonsillitis, deep neck infection, necrotizing mediastinitis, and bilateral pleural infections. Mixed pathogens, mainly M. salivarium, were implicated.
