Abstract

We report the detection of hemotropic mycoplasmas in 4 immunosuppressed pediatric patients in Spain: 2 solid organ transplant recipients, 1 hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipient, and 1 cancer patient. Sequences were 100% identical to a strain previously identified in Miniopterus schreibersii bats, which raises concerns about unnoticed zoonotic transmission.
