Overview
Risk factors that have been identified for Ureaplasma colonization/infection include factors such as heavy urogenital colonization in adults, multiple sexual partners, immunosuppression, and prematurity in neonates.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Risk factors
Risk factors for Ureaplasma infection in infants include the following:[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Neonatal factors
- Prematurity
- Low birth weight
- Perinatal asphyxia (Apgar score less than 6 at 5min)
- Mechanical ventilation of the infant
- Tracheal colonization of the infant by Ureaplasma species: The risk of developing moderate-severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia is increased by 7-9 folds in mechanically ventilated infants with Ureaplasma positive tracheal aspirate compared to mechanically ventilated infants with Ureaplasma positive nasopharyngeal sample.
- Congenital anomalies such as meningomyelocele
Maternal factors
- Prolonged or preterm rupture of membranes
- Chorioamnionitis
- Heavy vaginal colonization by Ureaplasma species
- Low socioeconomic status
Risk factors for Ureaplasma colonization/infection in adult men and women:[7][8][9][10][11][12]
- Multiple sexual partners
- Younger age
- Urogenital colonization/infection with other microorganisms
- Low socioeconomic status
- Immunosuppresion such as congenital immunodeficiency disorders like hypogammaglobulinemia.
