  • Title: [Severe genital mycoplasma infection following cesarean section].
    Author: Patai K, Füzi M, Kanjo AH, Sipos M, Paulin F.
    Journal: Orv Hetil; 1998 Mar 15; 139(11):641-3. PubMed ID: 9545798.
    Abstract:
    Authors report a serious case of post-caesarean delivery endometritis caused, probably exclusively, by genital mycoplasmas: Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis. The initial treatment of the patient with various penicillins, ceftriaxone, gentamicin, metronidazole and nystatine proved ineffective. Subsequently, as microbiological tests turned out positive for genital mycoplasmas, a therapy of doxycyclin was introduced and a full recovery could be attained. Authors' experience is consistent with the observation of American scientists that U. urealyticum is an important pathogen in post-caesarean delivery endometritis. Since the carriage of U. urealyticum in women is frequent in Hungary, it is suggested that microbiological investigations related to sectio caesarea always include tests for genital mycoplasmas.
