Clinical significance of airways colonization with Ureaplasma urealyticum in premature (<34 wk) neonates
|
Background & objectives: Ureaplasma urealyticum has been implicated in various neonatal morbidities in preterm infants. Its association with chronic lung disease (CLD) remains controversial. The aim of this prospective study was to investigate colonization of U. urealyticum in preterm infants (with gestational age <34 wk) and to evaluate the relationship between U. urealyticum colonization and neonatal morbidity including CLD.
Methods: U. urealyticum was cultured from nasopharyn...
