ABSTRACT
A total of 81 infertile women, who had been referred for diagnostic loparoscopy, were tested for the presence of antibodies to Mycoplasma hominis and T-mycoplasma. Out of 81, 30 had tubal adhesions and 51 had unilateral/bilateral tubal blockage. Antibodies to M. hominis were found in 21/30 (70%) and 14/51 (27.45%) women, antibodies to T-mycoplasma in 12/20 (40% and 39/51 (76.47%) women with tubal disorder. In a control group of 40 pregnant women, antibodies to the same two organisms occurred in 10% and 32.5%. Antibodies to M. hominis and T-mycoplasma were significantly (P < 0.001) more common in women with tubal disorder. Our results confirm the important role of M. hominis and T-mycoplasma in the aetiology of tubal infertility.
