title: Mycoplasmas among clients attending a family planning clinic in Zaria, Nigeria.
abstract: The effect of contraception in the incidence of genital tract mycoplasma infection was studied in 150 women practicing contraception and another 50 women attending a gynecological clinic, using no contraception. Using the chi-squared method, there was no statistically significant difference between total mycoplasma recovery in family planning clients versus the controls. The only statistically significant difference was between total positive mycoplasma in the oral contraceptive group versus IUD users.
