[Possibilities of colposcopy in the diagnostics of cervical Chlamydia-mycoplasmatic infections (population prospective study)].
Possibilities of colposcopy in the diagnostics of cervical chlamydia-mycoplastic infections are less investigated. The aim of given work was the study of this problem. Colposcopic examination was performed in 952 women (age - from 16 to 67) asked to clinics for examination and more precise definition of diagnosis because of different complaints. It was revealed specific colposcopic features of chlamydia-mycoplastic genital infections, which were compared with the results obtained from "gold standard" methods - direct immunofluorescence method and bacteriological analysis of cervical smears. High sensitivity (Se) - 0,96, specificity (Sp) - 0,79 and diagnostic effectiveness (De) - 0,93 of colposcopy were established. Authors conclude that the application of colposcopy for diagnostics of chlamydia-mycoplastic genital infection is particularly important: during urgent cases; during the case, when it is impossible to carry out the deep diagnostics of the sexually transmitted infections; for optimization of the diagnostics of the sexually transmitted infections.
