Study on correlation between pelvic adhesions and Chlamydia and Mycoplasmainfections

OBJECTIVE To explore the correlation between the pelvic adhesion and Chlamydia trachomatis(Ct) infection and Ureaplasma urealyticum(Uu)infection so as to provide theoretical basis for prevention of the pelvic adhesions.METHODS A total of 90 cases of patients with pelvic adhesions,who were treated in the hospital from Jan 2009 to Jan 2012,were selected as the case group,while 100 cases without pelvic adhesions were set as the control group.The incidence of the Ct infection and Uu infection in the two groups of patients was observed.RESULTS The positive rate of Ct in the case group was 37.78%,significantly higher than 8.00% in the control group,and the positive rate of Uu in the case group was 46.67%,significantly higher than 12.00% in the control group,the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P0.01),and the severity of pelvic adhesions showed a positive and significant correlation with both the Ct infection and the Uu infection(r=7.96;7.84,P0.01).CONCLUSION The Ct or Uu infection is the leading cause of pelvic adhesions,thus great importance should be attached to the detection of Ct or Uu.
