Mycoplasma genitalium Infection in Women Attending a Sexually Transmitted Infection Clinic: Diagnostic Specimen Type, Coinfections, and Predictors

Abstract

In female sexually transmitted infection (STI) clinic attendees, Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) was more frequently detected using vaginal (53/73) versus endocervical (43/73) specimens. In women without other STIs, MG detection (N=44) was associated with age≤ 22 years (odds ratio (OR) 2.53, P=0.006) and clinical evidence of cervicitis (OR 2.11, P=0.03)
