The article presents current views on urogenital diseases caused by M. hominis and U. urealyticum. Particular attention is paid to concurrent (co-occurring) urogenital infections. The review reports the data from epidemiological studies and outlines recent Russian and international guidelines and consensuses on managing patients with urogenital inflammatory diseases. The importance of adequate diagnosis and rational therapy of urogenital infections is discussed.

Background: Ureaplasma urealyticum, Ureaplasma parvum, and Mycoplasma hominis were widely known as ammonia-producing microorganisms and can cause hyperammonemia, leading to cerebral edema and altered consciousness, which represent serious complications in lung transplant recipients. However, there is limited knowledge on the epidemiology and outcomes of infections caused by U. urealyticum, U.

Mycoplasma genitalium, Ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis are bacterial pathogens found in the genitourinary tract, implicated in a range of infections. In women, these infections including pelvic inflammatory disease, vaginitis, infertility, and cervical cancer, while in men, they can cause non-gonococcal urethritis, prostate cancer, among other conditions. These infections are a global health concern, with China identified as a country with a high prevalence.

Article Synopsis
  • Genital Mycoplasmas are linked to negative pregnancy outcomes and infertility, but more research is needed to understand their exact role.
  • The study analyzed 228 endocervical samples from pregnant and non-pregnant women using end-point PCR to detect various Mycoplasma species.
  • The findings showed that certain Mycoplasma species were associated with bacterial vaginosis, indicating a potential contribution to its development, though no clear link was found to infertility or adverse pregnancy outcomes.

High-risk human papillomavirus infection (HR-HPV) is necessary but not the only factor needed to develop cervical cancer. It is essential to estimate cervical cancer development risk in the population of high-risk HPV-positive women and to avoid unnecessary examinations and treatment in low-risk individuals. The study aimed to identify associations between different personal factors, vaginal microflora, sexually transmitted, high-risk HPV infection, and various degrees of cervical precancerous lesions.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of genital infections (GIs), including sexual transmitted STIs: Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma genitalium, Trichomonas vaginalis, and opportunistic pathogens that generally do not cause STIs, non-classic STI: Ureaplasma urealyticum, Ureaplasma parvum and Mycoplasma hominis, in women with high-risk oncogenic human papillomavirus (hr-HPV) infection and their association with cervical lesions.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out including 231 hr-HPV positive women. Of these, 46 has histologically confirmed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 3 (CIN3) or more (including CIN3 and cervical cancer lesions-CIN3+).
