Popis: We report the clinical symptoms and examination findings of Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) in women living with HIV (WLHIV) in South Africa. If we relied on syndromic management alone to treat MG, only 15/46 of MG-infected women would have received appropriate treatment: sensitivity 32.6% (95%CI: 19.5-48.0) and specificity 67.4% (95%CI: 63.4-71.2).
