Molecular evidence of Ureaplasma urealyticum and Ureaplasma parvum colonization in preterm infants during respiratory distress syndrome
BACKGROUND Ureaplasma urealyticum and U. parvum have been associated with respiratory diseases in premature newborns, but their role in the pathogenesis of the respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is unclear. The aim of this study was to detect, using molecular techniques, the role of Mycoplasma spp. and Ureaplasma spp. in respiratory secretion and blood specimens of preterm newborns with or wit...
متن کاملureaplasma urealyticum and mycoplasma hominis colonization and chronic lung disease in preterm neonates under ventilation
background ureaplasma urealyticum (u. urealyticum) and mycoplasma hominis (m. hominis) are two important pathogens in neonatal respiratory tract infections. as low gestational age and birth weight increase the colonization rate with these pathogens, and they are also risk factors of chronic lung disease (cld), it is difficult to establish a statistically significant relation between these two f...
متن کاملRelationship between Ureaplasma urealyticum Colonization and Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia in Very Low Birth Weight Premature Infants: A Prospective Cohort Study
Background: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the second prevalent lung disease and one of the care challenges of premature newborns. Different risk factors play an important role in the development of this disease. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between colonization with Ureaplasma urealyticum and BPD.Methods: This prospective cohort study w...
متن کاملUreaplasma urealyticum colonization, prematurity and bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
The aim of the present study was to determine the association between the presence of Ureaplasma urealyticum in endotracheal aspirates and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). In addition, a review of similar studies from the English literature is presented. During the period February 1990 until March 1991, 108 mechanically-ventilated infants were included in a prospective study. Endotracheal aspi...
متن کاملClinical significance of airways colonization with Ureaplasma urealyticum in premature (<34 wk) neonates.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Ureaplasma urealyticum has been implicated in various neonatal morbidities in preterm infants. Its association with chronic lung disease (CLD) remains controversial. The aim of this prospective study was to investigate colonization of U. urealyticum in preterm infants (with gestational age <34 wk) and to evaluate the relationship between U. urealyticum colonization and ne...
