Abstract
The characteristics of the genital microflora of 70 non-pregnant women with non-gonococcal endocervicitis and 20 healthy women were characterized. In most cases of endocervicitis, a mixed infection was diagnosed, while chlamydia was most often detected in combination with herpes simplex viruses (HSV) and human papillomavirus (HPV). With monoinfection, ureaplasmas were more often found.
In 20% of healthy women, ureaplasmas were detected in cervical samples. It was found that in 83% of cases of endocervicitis, the vaginal microflora is involved in the pathological process, and most often this is manifested by bacterial and candidal vaginitis. The leading etiological role in the development of endocervicitis in non-pregnant women belongs to ureaplasmas, chlamydia, HSV and HPV.
