Determination of Mycoplasma genitulium infection in patients with chronic non-bacterial prostatitis and its significance / 吉林大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the action of Mycoplasma genitulium (Mg) in pathogenesis of chronic non-bacterial prostatitis. Methods Mg culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were perfomed on prostatic secretion specimens from 987 patients with chronic non-bacterial pristatitis and 125 healthy men. Results ①The positive rate of Mg in the prostatic secretion from the 987 patients was 31.5% (302/987). Among the 302 positive cases, 153 cases had other pathogens, of which Ureaplasma urealyticum (Uu) was the most (128). ②In the controls, the positive rate of Mg was 2. 53% (3/125). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (X2=44. 32,P
