[Preliminary serological survey on Mycoplasma and Chlamydia infection among gonorrhoea cases].
The antibodies to Mycoplasma hominis (Mh) and Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) in 123 sera from the patients with gonorrhoea and 108 sera from the healthy persons control were detected with micro-indirect hemagglutination test. The results showed that the antibody to Mh positive rate was 23.58%, GMT 1: 7.60, and to Ct 72.35%, GMT 1: 8.71 in the patients. The differences of the antibody levels between the patients and the controls were significant. It was suggested that the urogenital infections caused by Mh and/or Ct are common in the patients with gonorrhoea in Liuzhou area, Guang Xi Autonomous Region of China. The significance and distributional characteristics of Mh and Ct infections in the urogenital system and the reasons about higher positive rate in the patients with gonorrhea were discussed.
