[Studies on the colonization of female urogenital system by Mycoplasma].
In order to demonstrate a urogenital mycoplasmosis, restriction is made frequently also in women - to withdrawal of smear from the urethra. For recognizing whether this procedure is sufficient, 640 female patients of the fluor consulting hours were examined, and 2560 smears were withdrawn from the cervical canals, the surface of the portio, the laterovaginal walls, and from the urethra. The least frequency of mycoplasmas was stated in the urethra. Smears merely withdrawn from the urethra are, therefore, the least appropriate ones for fluor or for identification of a urogenital mycoplasmosis of the female genitals. According to the present results, it is recommended to carry out simultaneously smears from the surface of the portio, from the laterovaginal walls, as well as from the cervical canal and the urethra.
