ABSTRACT
We report the first case, to our knowledge, of a 4-month-old infant with meningitis caused by M. hominis in Saudi Arabia. The patient was admitted with fever and hydrocephalus and had a history of Ommaya reservoir, external ventricular drain [EVD] and ventriculo peritoneal [VP] shunt. The patient was treated successfully with intravenous Gentamicin, to which the isolated microbe was susceptible. The patient's condition improved and he was discharged in good condition after one-month hospitalization. Further studies are required to evaluate the use of molecular diagnostic tests to allow early diagnosis and treatment of M. hominis infection
