Abstract EN
This is to investigate the cervical cytological abnormalities associated with Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma hominis, Mycoplasma genitalium, and Ureaplasma urealyticum infections on routine screen.
A total of 714 subjects who had undergone cervical Pap smears and concomitant analyses for cervical infections were included by a retrospective search.
The frequencies of reactive cellular change (RCC) and squamous epithelial abnormalities were significantly higher in Chlamydia positive subjects than in uninfected subjects ( P < 0.001 ) .
Of the 124 subjects tested for M.
hominis, M.
genitalium, and U.
urealyticum, 14 (11%) were positive for M.
hominis and 29 (23%) were positive for U.
urealyticum.
Squamous abnormalities were more frequent in subjects with Ureaplasma infections than in uninfected subjects (24% versus 8%).
Taking together these findings, C.
trachomatis and U.
urealyticum may have a causal role in the development of cervical epithelial changes, including RCC.
Thus, extra awareness is warranted in cervical screening of women with Chlamydia or Ureaplasma infections.
