Burke BA. Ureaplasma: An overlooked pathogen. J Case Rep Images Obstet Gynecol 2023;9(1):21–23.ABSTRACT
Ureaplasma is a less recognized pathogen found in women of all ages. Women with unexplained bladder pain, urethritis, or hematuria should be screened with an appropriate culture media; standard urine culture is not sufficient. When given antibiotics effective against ureaplasma (Doxycycline twice daily for at least a week) patients usually experience relief of symptoms within several days.
