Key Points

  • This audit examines the occurrence of genital mycoplasma bacteraemia in women and its implications for treatment during pregnancy.
  • Conducted a 19-year audit of blood cultures from women at a tertiary maternity hospital.
  • Analyzed instances of genital mycoplasma detected in culture during early pregnancy and post-partum.
  • Identified cases of genital mycoplasma bacteraemia associated with early pregnancy loss.
  • Highlighted uncertainty about the benefits of antimicrobial therapy for affected women.

Abstract

Genital mycoplasma bacteraemia may occur in the early post-partum period or be associated with early pregnancy loss. It is unclear whether this represents transient bacteraemia or whether women benefit from directed antimicrobial therapy.
