[Detection of Mycoplasma and its antibodies in the blood of HIV-positive patients and in healthy persons]
Abstract
The comparative study of HIV-positive and clinically healthy persons has indicated that the antigens of M. pneumoniae, M. fermentans and U. urealyticum are encountered nearly twice more frequently in the blood of HIV-infected patients than in that of healthy individuals. Mycoplasma antibodies are detected in HIV-positive persons 12 times more frequently than in healthy ones. Among the HIV-infected persons there are those who have simultaneously antigens of some Mycoplasma species.
