Clinical Presentations and Treatment Outcomes of Mycoplasma genitalium Infections at a Large New York City Health Care System.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) is an emerging sexually transmitted infection. Treatment of MG is complicated by increasing resistance to primary treatment regimens, including macrolides and fluoroquinolones. Understanding the various clinical presentations and relative effectiveness of treatments for MG is crucial to optimizing care.

Methods

Patients with a positive MG nucleic acid amplification test between July 1, 2019, and June 30, 2021, at a large health system in New York City were included in a retrospective cohort. Demographics, clinical presentations, coinfections, treatment, and follow-up microbiologic tests were obtained from the electronic medical record. Associations with microbiologic cure were evaluated in bivariate and multivariable logistic regression
