Clinical Characteristics and Current Treatment Modality of Preterm Infants with Ureaplasma spp. Infection
GA and maternal vaginal <i>Ureaplasma</i> spp. colonization could be used to predict neonatal respiratory tract <i>Ureaplasma</i> spp. colonization. An elevated WBC count combined with normal CRP is a good marker of <i>Ureaplasma</i> spp. colonization/infection. It is conventional practice to start anti-<i>Ureaplasma</i> spp. treatment when infants present with a deteriorated respiratory condition. This practice warrants further investigation considering GA as a predominant intermediate variable.
