| bacteraemia and pelvic infection in women due to ureaplasma urealyticum and mycoplasma hominis. | during a 22-month period, pelvic infection with bacteraemia that was due to genital mycoplasmas was diagnosed in 12 adult patients at the royal women's hospital. mycoplasma hominis was isolated from seven patients and ureaplasma urealyticum from five patients. infections occurred postpartum in seven patients (in three patients after a vaginal delivery and in four patients after a caesarean section) and after gynaecological procedures in five patients. all patients were moderately ill. during the ... | 1987 | 3574192 |
| infection with multiple sexually transmitted agents. | a patient named as a contact by an individual with gonorrhea and syphilis was found to be an asymptomatic carrier of seven organisms known to be transmitted sexually. cultures were positive for neisseria gonorrhoeae, chlamydia trachomatis, gardnerella vaginalis, mycoplasma hominis, ureaplasma urealyticum, and herpes simplex virus. trichomonas vaginalis was detected by a wet preparation and the papanicolaou smear. the cervix was found to have an ulcer on the posterior lip that yielded herpes simp ... | 1987 | 3573062 |
| colonization of sexually abused children with genital mycoplasmas. | although sexually abused children are usually evaluated only for the presence of infections with neisseria gonorrhoeae and treponema pallidum, they are also at risk for acquiring other sexually transmitted organisms prevalent in the adult population. accordingly, we examined pharyngeal, anorectal and genital specimens from 50 children who had been sexually abused and from 40 healthy children who served as controls; these specimens were cultured for mycoplasma hominis and ureaplasma urealyticum. ... | 1987 | 3563830 |
| mycoplasmas and in vitro fertilization. | semen samples taken from 135 patients attending an in vitro fertilization clinic were shown to be colonized, 53 with ureaplasma urealyticum (39%) and 16 with mycoplasma hominis (12%). an unidentified mycoplasma species was isolated from the sperm of two patients. m. hominis was recovered from all the washed sperm samples taken from colonized semen, whereas washing the sperm eradicated u. urealyticum from 71% of colonized semen. the presence of mycoplasmas in semen made no significant difference ... | 1987 | 3552747 |
| [in vitro activity of nitroxoline on urogenital mycoplasmas]. | the product nitroxoline was studied in vitro for its activity towards ureaplasma urealyticum and mycoplasma hominis. in view of the low mic values obtained, it seems nitroxoline could be used in the treatment of urinary infections. it is bactericidal, and should not produce resistant strains. | 1986 | 3543811 |
| effect on birth weight of erythromycin treatment of pregnant women. | to test the hypothesis that treatment with antibiotics prevents low birth weight, pregnant women whose vaginal cultures contained ureaplasma urealyticum or mycoplasma hominis (or both) and who gave written informed consent were treated with one of the following: identical looking capsules containing 250 mg of either erythromycin estolate or stearate (active against u urealyticum), or 150 mg of clindamycin hydrochloride (active against m hominis), or placebo, four times daily for six weeks in a r ... | 1987 | 3543767 |
| sternotomy infections with mycoplasma hominis. | mycoplasma hominis caused sternal wound infections with mediastinitis in three patients. one infection occurred in a nonimmunocompromised man after coronary artery bypass grafting. the wound did not heal after repeated debridement, closed irrigation of the mediastinum with povidone-iodine solution, and antimycoplasmal chemotherapy; muscle flap grafting was eventually required. two infections occurred in recipients of heart-lung transplants after the isolation of mycoplasma from bronchial secreti ... | 1987 | 3541722 |
| ureaplasma urealyticum as a cause of postpartum fever. | mycoplasma hominis has been shown to cause a postpartum fever in nonimmune women and among the approximately 5% of febrile postpartum women who have the organism isolated from the blood. ureaplasma urealyticum causes postpartum fever in the 20% of febrile women with u. urealyticum alone isolated from the endometrium. about 5% of febrile postpartum women have u. urealyticum isolated from the blood. these data suggest that both genital mycoplasmas can cause postpartum fever. | 1986 | 3540898 |
| [chlamydia trachomatis in patients with genital contact infections in austria--studies of 3,367 patients]. | in order to evaluate the epidemiological importance of chlamydia trachomatis (c. trachomatis) as a genital microorganism, data were obtained from 3,367 patients with sexually transmitted diseases in vienna and analyzed by computer-assisted methods. c. trachomatis was cultured in 26.1% of 2,594 patients investigated for the first time. the microorganism was found more often in male patients (31.3%) than in female patients (21%). 32.2% of positive chlamydia cultures were obtained from patients wit ... | 1986 | 3538672 |
| aetiology of urinary symptoms in sexually active women. | two hundred and fifty six unselected women, 50 of whom had urinary symptoms (frequency of urination or dysuria, or both), and who were attending a department of genitourinary medicine, were investigated. the urinary symptoms were associated both with pyuria and the isolation of undoubted pathogens from midstream urine (msu) specimens. no associations were found between urinary symptoms and the isolation of neisseria gonorrhoeae or chlamydia trachomatis from the urethra or cervix; the recovery of ... | 1986 | 3533756 |
| [amine colpitis]. | significance of koh test and isonitril (isocyanide) reaction tested in 104 patients was compared with our microbial culture results. in gardnerella vaginalis as well as in no spores forming anaerobic germs the koh test was not and the isonitril reaction was only insignificant reliable. both tests are not able to substitute the procedures of culturing germs including those of mycoplasma hominis and ureaplasma urealyticum. | 1986 | 3532626 |
| further studies on genital mycoplasmas in intra-amniotic infection: blood cultures and serologic response. | mycoplasma hominis is recovered significantly more often in amniotic fluid of women with intra-amniotic infection than in matched control women, but ureaplasma urealyticum is found in 50% of amniotic fluid samples of both groups. to gain further understanding, we performed blood cultures for genital mycoplasmas and measured serologic responses by a micro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method in women with intra-amniotic infection and in control subjects. in blood cultures of 81 women with int ... | 1986 | 3515945 |
| effect of short term treatment of non-gonococcal urethritis with minocycline. | two hundred and forty four men with non-gonococcal urethritis (ngu) took part in a trial of minocycline. chlamydiae were isolated from 34%, ureaplasmas from 47.1%, and mycoplasma hominis from 10.2%. these micro-organisms were isolated least often from men suffering their third or more attack of ngu, and men in this group failed most often to respond to minocycline. irrespective of the micro-organisms isolated originally or the number of previous attacks, the failure rate (10%) for men receiving ... | 1986 | 3512418 |
| a dna probe for detecting mycoplasma genitalium in clinical specimens. | despite decades of careful study, the etiologies of all cases of pelvic inflammatory disease (pid) and non-gonococcal urethritis (ngu) have yet to be described. mycoplasma genitalium is a newly described organism which has been implicated as a cause of both pid and ngu. because of fastidious growth requirements, prolonged incubation time and frequent overgrowth in clinical specimens by mycoplasma hominis, non-culture methods need to be developed for its detection. we have cloned m. genitalium dn ... | 1987 | 3453423 |
