    Journal: Zhonghua Fu Chan Ke Za Zhi; 1997 Apr; 32(4):214-6. PubMed ID: 9596901.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To study the prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU) infection in spontaneous abortion patients. METHODS: CT and UU in aborted tissues were determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique in 45 spontaneous abortion patients (abortion group) and 25 artificial abortion cases (control group). RESULTS: The detective rate of CT and UU was 42.2% and 33.3% respectively in the abortion group. As compared with the control group significant difference (P < 0.01, P < 0.025) was shown. The detection rate of mixed CT and UU is 8.9%. CONCLUSION: CT and UU are important infection factors which may cause spontaneous abortion. PCR examination of the aborted tissue can submit an accurate, rapid microorganic diagnosis of CT and (or) UU infection.
