[Chlamydia trachomatis infection and its correlation with cervical preoncogenesis].
Among 612 patients included in this open study, serologic detection of Chlamydia infection was compared with cervical cytologic, histologic and colposcopic abnormalities. Serologic and cytologic evidence of elevated exposure to Chlamydia among patients with squamous intraepithelial lesions was found. Nevertheless, whether the Chlamydia infection represents a non casual association resulting from the correlation with sexual activity or it plays independent or supporting etiologic roles is an issue that warrants further investigations.
