Prevalence of Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealiticum in pregnant and women with reproductive problems.
The aim of the research was to explore women with reproductive problems and pregnant women on Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma as well as to investigate spread of these microbes in the women of reproductive age. There were investigated 100 women with reproductive problem and 96 pregnant women. It was found that 64% of women with reproductive problem and 60% of pregnant women had Ureaplasma urealyticum with high titer (more then 1000 cells in ml), but Mycoplasma hominis was detected approximately in equal % of non-pregnant and pregnant women (12% - non-pregnant women; 16% - pregnant women). It is recommended to investigate women before planning pregnancy.
