Description
This book describes Ureaplasma Infection, Diagnosis and Treatment and Related Diseases
Ureaplasma Infection is an infection of the urogenital system by the Ureaplasma bacterium.
Ureaplasma is a group of tiny bacteria that reside in the respiratory and urogenital (urinary and reproductive) tract.
They are some of the smallest free-living micro-organisms in the world.
They are so small that they cannot be observed through a microscope.
Ureaplasma is often a part of the human microbiome (a community of micro-organisms) which comprises trillions of tiny cells that live in and on the human body.
These tiny micro-organisms assist the person to digest food, fight infections, and maintain reproductive health.
Occasionally normally harmless bacteria overgrow and cause inflammation of healthy tissues.
This produces a colony of bacteria that can cause infection.
Ureaplasma Infection has been linked to a range of medical disorders, such as bacterial vaginosis and pregnancy complications.
Ureaplasma infections appear to be linked with a higher risk of some disorders, but not their direct cause.
Ureaplasma urealyticum is a type in the genus Ureaplasma that can produce urogenital infection.
Though most micro-organisms have a cell wall, U urealyticum does not.
It is found in about 70% of sexually active humans.
It can be present in cultures in cases of pelvic inflammatory disease and is transmitted through sex or from mother to infant during birth.
It is not a commensal bacterium of the healthy uterine or amniotic microbiome.
Infection with U. realyticum can add to neonatal infection and negative birth prognoses.
It is believed that rather a large percentage of the sexually active population is contaminated with Ureaplasma without it producing any problems whatsoever.
Ureaplasma is normally transmitted through sexual contact.
It is very frequent among sexually active adults.
It can go into the body through the vagina or the urethra.
Ureaplasma can also be transmitted from mother to child.
The infection normally goes away within a few months.
It is infrequent among children and sexually inactive adults.
People with a weakened immune system are at the greatest risk of Ureaplasma infection.
This is people who have HIV and people who have had an organ transplant.
Most people with an Ureaplasma infection do not have any symptoms.
There is no evidence that Ureaplasma Infection has any long term health complications for those who are asymptomatic.
Ureaplasma infection is a possible source of inflammation in the urethra.
This is termed urethritis.
Both men and women may have these symptoms of urethritis:
1. Burning experience when passing urine
2. Urethral inflammation with burning sensation
3. Infrequent vaginal discharge in women
4. Urethral discharge in men
Ureaplasma is also a possible source of bacterial vaginosis.
Symptoms can be:
1. Watery vaginal discharge
2. Unpleasant vaginal odor
Ureaplasma may also raise the danger for other disorders such as:
1. Kidney stones
2. Premature labor
3. Respiratory diseases in newborns
There are female patients with chronic cystitis/urinary system infections that demonstrate no evidence on a culture of any bacterial organisms.
When the urine is examined for Ureaplasma utilizing PCR it is discovered to be present.
Ureaplasma infection does appear to play a part in the risk of preterm delivery.
It is important to understand that Ureaplasma infection does not produce preterm delivery.
The presence of Ureaplasma infection has also been linked with a higher risk of postpartum endometritis, which is inflammation of the uterus.
