Ureaplasma urealyticum osteomyelitis of the greater trochanter in a patient with multiple sclerosis using ocrelizumab - a case report

Ocrelizumab - a monoclonal anti-CD20 antibody used in treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) - marks significant progress in treating autoimmune diseases but raises susceptibility to opportunistic infections due to hypogammaglobulinemia. A young MS patient developed osteomyelitis from persistent urethritis, which was diagnosed with specialized polymerase chain reaction and resolved with targeted antibiotics. A multidisciplinary approach is crucial for managing such infections.
