Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo study the infectious status of seven species of Mycoplasma, three species of Chlamydia, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Garderella vaginalis in the 76 male sexual transmitted disease (STD) patients in Yangzhou city.
METHODSTwelve species of pathogens including Ureaplasma urealyticum (Uu), Mycoplasma hominis (Mh), Mycoplasma pneumoniae (Mpn), Mycoplasma genitalium (Mg), Mycoplasma fermentans (Mf), Mycoplasma penetrans (Mpe), Mycoplasma prium (Mpi), Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct), Chlamydia pneumoniae (Cpn), Chlamydia psittaci (Cps), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Ng) and Garderella vaginalis (GV) were detected by nested polymerase chain reaction including PPNG.
RESULTSThe positive rates of Uu, Mh, Mpn, Mg, Mf, Mpe, Ct, Ng were 64.5%, 27.6%, 26.3%, 18.4%, 2.6%, 2.6%, 31.6%, 36.8%, in which Penicillinase-producing neisseria gonorrhoeae (PPNG) accounted for 14.3%, GV 15.8%. No Mpi, Cpn or Cps were found. There was more significant therapeutic effects on the detectable rate of Mycoplasma nucleic acid between positive gonococcus and negative gonococcus in male STDs patients (chi(2) = 3.848, P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe infection rates of Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, Ng and GV were high among male STD patients in Yangzhou city. In clinical practice, more attention should be paid on correct diagnosis and treatment for patients, with Gonococcus, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma and GV.
