目的：探讨解脲支原体（UU）感染与精液质量的关系。方法：2001年至2003年，从中国上海两家医院邀请346名年龄20-45岁的符合条件的患者参加调查，包括一般和生殖健康问卷、外生殖道检查、UU培养和精液分析。使用多元线性回归模型来检验调整混杂因素后 UU 是否对精液质量有显着影响。结果：研究结果表明，UU 感染与较高的精液粘度和较低的精液 pH 值相关。 UU阳性受试者的精子浓度低于UU阴性受试者（54.04 x 10(6)/mL vs.70.58 x 10(6)/mL）。但UU并没有显着影响其他精液质量指标。结论：男性生殖道UU感染会对精液质量产生负面影响。
Aim: To investigate the relationship between Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU) infection and semen quality. Methods: From 2001 to 2003, 346 eligible patients aged 20-45 years were invited from two hospitals in Shanghai, China, to participate in an investigation which included questionnaires about general and reproductive health, an external genital tract examination, UU culture and semen analysis. Multiple linear regression models were used to examine whether UU had a significant effect on semen quality after adjustment for confounding factors. Results: Findings suggested that UU infection was associated with higher semen viscosity and lower semen pH value. Sperm concentration was lower in UU positive subjects than that in UU negative subjects (54.04 x 10(6)/mL vs.70.58 x 10(6)/mL). However, UU did not significantly affect other semen quality indexes. Conclusion: UU infection of the male genital tract could negatively influence semen quality.
