Abstract
The relationship of cervical colonization of genital mycoplasmas and infection with cytomegalovirus (CMV) was studied in 66 intrauterine device (IUD) users as contrasted to 60 patients using oral contraception and 50 patients using neither an IUD nor oral contraception. No significant increase in colonization or genital mycoplasmas or infection with CMV was noted in IUD users. No CMV was isolated from users of the cooper-t IUD. It is unlikely that genital mycoplasmas are related to either the increased immunoglobulin levels seen in patients using the IUD or the antifertility effects of the IUD.Entities:
