Abstract EN
Tragically, genital tract infections are still a major public health problem in many regions.
This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of cervical infection with Herpes simplex virus (HSV), Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) among married women referring to Iranian Hospital, Dubai, UAE.
In a retrospective cross-sectional survey, 201 female patients aged 16–80 years who referred to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Iranian Hospital, Dubai, UAE, in 2010 were enrolled.
The patients were categorized into three age groups: 15–30 (group I), 31–40 (group II), and ≥41 years old (group III).
A cervical swab sample was collected from each woman and the prevalence of cervical infection with HSV, CT, and NG was determined by PCR method.
HSV, CT, and NG were detected in 6.5%, 10.4%, and 5.5% of swab samples, respectively.
Regarding age, a significant difference was noticed for prevalence of NG and HSV between groups I and III.
Because of public health importance of sexual transmitted diseases (STDs), their long-lasting impact on quality of life, and their economic burden, preventing measures and education of women seem necessary.
