[Clinic intervention study on urogenital mycoplasma infection of pregnant women]
Abstract
Objective: To explore the hypothesis of pathogenic relationship between urogenital mycoplasma infection and adverse perinatal outcomes.
Methods: Four hundred and eighty-eight mycoplasma-positive pregnant women detected by culture method were randomly divided into erythromycine-intervention group and non-intervention group. Comparison was made on rate of reverse sero-conversion, of vertical transmission to mycoplasma and adverse perinatal outcomes incidence between groups.
Results: Ureaplasma urealyticum sero-conversion rate and rate of vertical-transmission in intervention group were significantly lower than in non-intervention group (P < 0.05). The incidences rates of preturm labor, post partum fever, puerperal infection and neonate pneumonia in intervention group were significantly lower than in non-intervention group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Erythromycin is effective in control of ureaplasma urealyticum infection among pregnant women through cutting off vertical transmission passway and lowering adverse perinatal outcomes against ureaplasma urealyticum.
