mucopurulent
1.Inflammation of the urethra resulting from chronic gonorrhea and characterized by a mucopurulent discharge.
2.To investigate the prevalence of AIDS associated mycoplasmas infections in patients with nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) and mucopurulent cervicitis (MPC), the detections for Mycoplasma genitalium (Mg), Mycoplasma penetrans (Mpe), Mycoplasma pirum (Mpi) and Mycoplasma fermentans (Mf) by culture and PCR were performed in 65 patients with NGU/MPC.
3.Several subclassifications have been proposed: ①simple chronic bronchitis describes a condition characterized by mucoid sputum production; ②chronic mucopurulent bronchitis is characterized by persistent or recurrent purulence of sputum in the absence of localized suppurative diseases such as bronchiectasis; ③chronic bronchitis with obstruction deserves a separate classification characterized by presence of airway obstruction as assessed by the used of the forced expiratory vital capacity maneuver; and ④chronic asthmatic bronchitis.
