Abstract
- We used the Food and Drug Administration-cleared Aptima Mycoplasma genitalium assay to evaluate for M. genitalium infection among young women without urogenital symptoms presenting to a community-based emergency department in Birmingham, Alabama, between August 2016 to August 2019 for evaluation of nongynecological concerns. M. genitalium was detected in 23 (14.8%) of 155 women.
