Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence of
Ureaplasma urealyticum and
Chlamydia trachomatis infections in serum, cervical secretions, and tubal tissues of tubal pregnancy patients and analyze the relationship between the tubal pregnancy and the genital tract
U.urealyticum and
C.trachomatis.
METHODS A total of 70 tubal pregnancy patients who underwent laparoscopic salpingectomy in department of gynecology and obstetrics from Jan 2014 to Dec 2015 were chosen as the tubal pregnancy group, while 70 patients with gynecological benign lesions who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy or salpingectomy were set as the control group.The
U.urealyticum and
C.trachomatis antibodies in serum and
U.urealyticum and
C.trachomatis DNA in cervical secretions and tubal tissues were detected.The positive rates of
U.urealyticum, C.trachomatis, and
U.urealyticum plus
C.trachomatis in serum, cervical secretions and specimens were observed and compared between the two groups of patients.
RESULTS The positive rates of
C.trachomatis in serum, cervical secrestions and specimens of the tunbal pregnancy group were respectively 31.4%, 37.1%, and 24.3%, higher than 4.3%, 5.7%, and 2.9% of the control group, and there was significant difference between the two groups (
P<0.05); the positive rates of
U.urealyticum in serum, cervical secrestions and specimens of the tunbal pregnancy group were respectively 41.4%, 40.4%, and 31.4%, higher than 11.4%, 8.6%, and 2.9% of the control group, and there was significant difference between the two groups (
P<0.05); the positive rates of
U.urealyticum plus
C.trachomatis in serum, cervical secrestions and specimens of the tunbal pregnancy group were respectively 20.0%, 12.9%, and 18.6%, higher than 4.3%, 1.4%, and 1.4% of the control group, and there was significant difference between the two groups (
P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe positive rates of
U.urealyticum and
C.trachomatis are increased in the serum, cervical secretions, and tubal tissues of the tubal pregnancy patients.The tubal pregnancy is closely associated with the genital tract infection with
U.urealyticum and
C.trachomatis.
