Abstract

Objective To investigate the condition of infection of chlamydia trachomatis(CT) and ureaplasma urealyti-cum(UU) in patients with non-gonorrheal urethritis(NGU). Methods CT was determined by SureStepTM Chamydia quick coloration and UU by in vitro culture. Results The detection rates of CT and UU of the NGU patients were significantly different from those of the normal controls(χ2=4.33,6.56;P0.05).The detection rates of the post-treatment patients were also significantly different from those when first diagnosed(χ2=3.96,12.90;P0.05),but not from those of the normal controls(P0.05). Conclusion UU may exist in the urethra of normal men.NGU cannot be diagnosed by positive results of UU or CT only.
