Abstract
Hyperammonemia syndrome (HS) from Ureaplasma infection is typically reported in posttransplant recipients, particularly lung transplant. We describe a young woman with activated PI3K delta syndrome 2 who presented with HS from disseminated Ureaplasma urealyticum infection with septic arthritis. We also performed a literature review of Ureaplasma-associated HS in nontransplant patients.
