| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study consisted of the evaluation of some sexually transmitted diseases in patients with cervical pathology, namely squamous intraepithelial lesions. METHODS: a prospective study was performed. Patients with an abnormal cervical smear were submitted to colposcopy, directed biopsy and an immunologic assay for Chlamydia, Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) types 1 and 2, Cytomegalovirus, Treponema pallidum, Hepatitis B and Human Immunodeficiency Virus I and II. The same parameters were evaluated in women with normal cervical cytology in a matched control group. A comparative study was performed evaluating some epidemiological parameters and the referred immunologic assays. RESULTS: 118 patients were separated into four groups. Statistically significant differences were observed in the personal history of fungi infections, as well as Chlamydia and HSV 2 IgM. CONCLUSION: immunologic assays may prove useful in identifying sexually-transmitted diseases, especially Chlamydia and HSV 2 infections, in Human Papillomavirus infected women. | en |
