Introduction

Mycoplasma are the smallest living organisms. They may invade the bloodstream and affect to numerous body organs.

Ureaplasma urealyticum and Ureaplasma parvum have now been identified as pathogens of various infections. Separation of these species is very difficult and molecular techniques polymerase chain reaction (PCR) may used for detection. They are considered together as Ureaplasma species and they have the same traits that cause invasive infections in susceptible population when there is a chance.

PCR technology has enable us to know more about these stealth pathogens. They are slow in growth lack the realiable methods for cultivation and detection is only availabe with molecular technology.

Ureaplasma may affect fertility, pregnancy. Ureaplasma species and M genitalium may affect cases that are not infected with chlamydia. NGU urethritis is the most comon sexually transmitted infection.

Ureaplasma usually inhabit in the lower genital and urinary tract and could be transmitted to sexual partners or offspring.

Many medical practitioners are not familiar with Ureaplasma and lack of facilities to diagnose ureaplasma infections. If initial treatment are ineffective, a further tests to find out Ureaplasma is the only way to find a correct cure.

Conditions and symptoms byUreaplasma infection

Urethritis, arthritis, Pelvic inflammatory infections, pneumonia, meningitis

For doctors to diagnose patients with clinical symptoms with Ureaplasma, a culture must be done to rule out the presence of Ureaplasma.

Detection in culture on Urealyticum takes two to five days and use PCR assay. The specific culture and growth conditions must be met to have a accurate identification. Specimen collected should be from urethral swabs rather than urine samles. Prostate fluid, semen are also need culture tests.

The proper procedure of specimen collection is a very important factor that could affect the accuracy of these lab tests. Inquire the services and procedure from the laboratory and make sure they do it right.

The key to a successful treatment is on the early identification of Ureaplasma infection in prostatitis patients and the careful dosage prescription.
