This study in Teheran, Islamic Republic of Iran, investigated the prevalence of Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma species in men with non-gonococcal urethritis. Urethral swab samples were collected from 125 cases and 125 healthy men as a control group. The samples were then investigated by culture methods. The rates of detected bacteria in case and control groups were 19.2% and 7.2% for U. urealyticum, 7.2% and 0.8% for M. genitalium, and 2.4% and 1.6% for M. hominis respectively. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between case and control groups in the prevalence of U. urealyticum and M. genitalium but not M. hominis. It is concluded that in men, U. urealyticum and M. genitalium may have an etiologic role in non-gonococcal urethritis.
在伊朗伊斯兰共和国德黑兰进行的这项研究,调查了非淋菌性尿道炎男性中解脲脲原体和支原体的感染率。从125例患者和125名健康男性作为对照组中采集尿道拭子样本。然后通过培养方法对样本进行检测。病例组和解脲脲原体、生殖支原体和人型支原体的检出率分别为19.2%和7.2%、7.2%和0.8%、2.4%和1.6%。统计分析表明,病例组和解脲脲原体及生殖支原体感染率之间存在显著差异,但人型支原体不存在。得出的结论是,在男性中,解脲脲原体和生殖支原体可能在非淋菌性尿道炎中起病因学作用。
