[Epidemiology of vaginal mycoplasmas].
The authors made in 456 women mycoplasmatological examinations of the vaginal secretion by cultivation. Mycoplasma hominis was obtained in 158 women (34.6%). U. urealyticum in 295 women (64.7%) In 120 women (26.3%) both microorganisms were present. The prevalence of vaginal mycoplasms is markedly influenced by the sexual activity of women. The relative risk of colonization of the vagina with M. hominis rises with the frequency of sexual intercourse more than four times. In case of a larger number of sexual partners the relative risk of colonization of the vagina with U. urealyticum is 7.7 times higher than in women with a single partner.
