Overview
History and Symptoms
- It is important to take a history of the underlying risk factors for Ureaplasma colonization/infection.[1][2][3][4] Nonspecific symptoms such as irritability, lethargy, convulsions and dyspnea can be seen in neonatal infection associated with Ureaplasma.[5]
- The site of the body affected by Ureaplasma infection determines the presenting symptom:
- Nongonococcal urethritis can present with dysuria and urethral discharge. It can also be asymptomatic.
- Ureaplasma pneumonia presents with symptoms similar to other bacterial pneumonia such as fever, labored breathing, etc.
