Patient's question:
Is chlamydia and mycoplasma vaginitis a sexually transmitted disease? How is it treated and what is the cost?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, drugs effective against chlamydial infection are also effective against mycoplasma infection. When necessary, tetracycline-class drugs (commonly used include tetracycline, doxycycline, and minocycline), macrolide-class drugs (commonly used include erythromycin, ethyl erythromycin, roxithromycin, and azithromycin), and quinolone-class drugs (commonly used include ofloxacin and levofloxacin) can be used to treat genital mycoplasma infection, with a course of treatment lasting 1 to 2 weeks. Among these, erythromycin is ineffective against Mycoplasma hominis, and clindamycin is ineffective against Ureaplasma urealyticum.
