Contractile activity of isolated myometrium from pregnant women with chronic specific urogenital infections.
Contractile activity of the isolated myometrium from pregnant women with mycoplasma, chlamydial, and mixed mycoplasma-chlamydial infections of the urogenital system was studied in vitro by pharmacological methods. The amplitude of uterine contractions induced by oxytocin and prostaglandin F2alpha decreased in women with mycoplasma infection, but increased during chlamydial and mixed infections. These data can help to predict pregnancy complications in women with specific urogenital infections.
