| Summary: | Ureaplasma urealyticum is an important cause in habital abortion, perinatal, death chorioamnionitis and low birth weight. In this study, 163 specimens obtained from neonates who have borned in the two university hospital of Tehran. 240 new born infant had the weight less than or equal 2500 g (low birth weight) and others had more than 2500 g (from the total) in 37 cases, ureaplasma urealyticum colonized and 126 cases were responded negative. From these positive cases 9 were L.B.W (two birth weight and 28 were normal weight and from the negative cases. 15 had L.B.W and 111 had normal weight. Finally with the 5% probability of error byK square (K²) test. Two factors, colonization and weight of new born infant show the correlation. Sampling location, the age of mothers, and the position of chorioamnions are three factors that were studied. Two factors of the above do not display correlation about normal infant and L.B.W. |
