title: [Role of mycoplasmas in the last month of pregnancy and postpartum pathology. Prospective study of 577 pregnancies].
abstract: The authors report the findings of a prospective study of 577 pregnancies. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of mycoplasma on peri-post-natal illness arising during the last month of gestation and during the immediate post-partum period. The incidence of contamination was 29% of Ureaplasma urealyticum and 2.3% for Mycoplasma hominis. This showed little change post partum. The rate of transmission to the fetus or placenta is low. No difference in end-of-term fetal weight was detected in comparison with a control population. Ureaplasma urealyticum was significantly associated with premature breaking of the membranes. Mycoplasma hominis was highly significantly associated with post-partum endometritis.
