CLEARANCE OF MYCOPLASMA GENITALIUM AND TRICHOMONAS VAGINALIS AMONG ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS WITH PELVIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASE: RESULTS FROM THE TECH-N STUDY.

Current pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) treatment effectively treatsNeisseria gonorrhoeae(NG) andChlamydia trachomatis(CT). However, coverage may be inadequate forMycoplasma genitalium(MG)/Trichomonas vaginalis(TV) infections. We compared the longitudinal MG and TV outcomes with NG/CT outcomes for women enrolled in a longitudinal randomized controlled trial to optimize outcomes after PID. The prevalences of CT and NG were lower at 30- and 90-day follow-up compared with the prevalence at the time of diagnosis. No significant difference was observed for MG (odds ratio, 0.95; 0.86-1.04;P= 0.265) and TV (odds ratio, 0.89; 0.75-1.04;P= 0.146) over time for both treatment groups, showing that persistence and/or reinfection with MG and TV occurs more frequently than with CT or NG after treatment of PID using current national treatment guidelines.
