A significant association of Mycoplasma genitalium with non-gonococcal urethritis has been reported, but the prevalence of this mycoplasma in men with gonococcal urethritis has not been so well studied. In this study, we examined urethral swab specimens from 45 Japanese male patients with gonococcal urethritis for the presence of M. genitalium by using a polymerase chain reaction-based assay. We also sought Chlamydia trachomatis by an enzyme immunoassay Chlamydiazyme . Of the 45 specimens, 2 4.4 were positive for the mycoplasma and 12 26.7 were positive for C. trachomatis. The findings suggest that M. genitalium may be a cause not only of non-gonococcal urethritis but also of postgonococcal urethritis.

Objective: To study the clinical features and the state of general immunological reactivity in non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) in men. Methods: Examined 100 men between the ages of 20 and 48 years: 75 patients of NGU (main group) and 25 healthy (control group). The average age of the patients was 26.7±1.7 years, and the male of control group was 27.9±1.7 years. Clinical, microscopic, immunological research methods were used, including direct immunofluorescence (DIF), polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results: Ureaplasma urealyticum was found in 37 (49.3%) patients, 33 (44%) had Chlamydia trachomatis, 23 (30.7%) had Mycoplasma genitalium, 16 (21.3%) had Trichomonas vaginalis. In 24 (32%) of NGU patients had a mixed infection: in 14 (18.7%) had a combination of two STIs and in 10 (13, 3%) had three infections. In 51 (68%) of patients the process passed in the form of monoinfection. Various complaints (dysuric disorders, pain, discomfort and agglutination of the labium urethra) were presented by 51 (68%) of sick patients. The excretions from the urethra were marked in 46 (61.3%) of patients, reproductive disorders are 3 times less common. Immunological disorders were manifested by a decrease in CD4 and CD8 lymphocytes, PHA, PN and IL-10, increase – IgM, IgG, CIC, TNFα, IL-1β. Conclusions: The most common cause of NGU is Ureaplasma urealyticum and Chlamydia trachomatis. In most cases NGU proceeds in the form of monoinfection. Subjective and objective symptoms occur in 64% and 59% of patients, respectively. Immunological disorders were detected in 71% of patients.
