Chronic Endometritis and Positive Mycoplasma Cultures: Is There a Correlation?

چکیده
OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to assess the impact of mycoplasma strains (Mycoplasma hominis or Ureaplasma urealyticum) on the development of chronic endometritis. METHODS Fifty-eight patients with acute pelvic infection were enrolled in this prospective cohort study. Endometrial cultures and biopsies were obtained on admission and 5-7 and 21-28 days after completion of treatment. RESULTS Of 148 samples, 40 were positive for mycoplasma strains (group A) and 58 were positive for mycoplasma with other pathogens (group B). Twenty-seven samples were positive for other pathogens only (group C). Chronic endometritis was seen in 7 (17.5%), 30 (51.7%), and 10 (37%) in group A, B, and C patients, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The presence of mycoplasma strains in the endometrial cavity was not found to be associated with an increased incidence of chronic endometritis.
