title: [Study on the mycoplasma infection status between healthy women and women with gential tract inflammation].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study and compare the pathogenicity and pathogenic condition of Ureaplasma urealyticum (Uu) and Mycoplasma homonis (Mh) between healthy women and women with gential tract inflammation.
  
  
  METHODS
  To collect the gential tract secretion in the two groups and detect the infectious ratio and color change unit ( CCU) concentration. Together with data gathered from questionnaires, we studied the mycoplasma infectious status between the two kinds of people.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The positive rate was 76. 1 % in women with gential inflammation, higher than in healthy women whose positive rate was 42.2% (chi(2) = 45.1862, P< 0.0001). Mixed infection of Uu and Mh was popular in infected women. Healthy women were easier to be infected by Uu or Mh( Uu, Uu + Mh: X(2) = 39.5956, P< 0.0001; Mh,Uu + Mh: X(2)= 13.2935, P= 0.0003). The result of CCU concentration showed the infected concentration in women with gential tract inflammation was higher than healthy women(Uu: Z = 7. 1058, P< 0.0001; Mh: Z= 8.7201, P< 0.0001). Uu and Mh were commonl sensitively in every age.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Both Uu and Mh were conditioned pathogens. The two kinds of mycoplasma had cooperated pathogenic effects which was easily leading to clinical symptom in the high infectious concentration.
