Current information on the role played by Mycoplasma hominis in placental inflammation was reviewed. M. hominis is associated with chorioamnionitis and funisitis, but the clinical significance of this association in not clear. Further research on the role of the organism in perinatal disease is needed. Meanwhile, in a gravely ill infant with a history of prolonged rupture of the placental membranes, chorioamnionitis, and funisitis, M. hominis should probably be considered a potential pathogen, cultures for this organism should be performed, and therapy with an antibiotic regimen effective against M. hominis should be instituted.
综述了人型支原体在胎盘炎症中所起作用的当前信息。人型支原体与绒毛膜羊膜炎和脐带炎相关，但这种关联的临床意义尚不清楚。需要进一步研究该病原体在围产期疾病中的作用。同时，对于有胎膜长期破裂、绒毛膜羊膜炎和脐带炎病史的重症婴儿，人型支原体可能应被视为潜在病原体，应进行该病原体的培养，并应采用对人型支原体有效的抗生素方案进行治疗。
