Trichomonas vaginalis infection: Risk indicators among women attending for routine gynecologic examination
No full textOBJECTIVES: Trichomonas vaginalis is one of the most common agents of sexually transmitted disease, but trichomoniasis is still considered as an infection of minor importance. The aim of this study was to investigate the risk indicators for trichomoniasis in women attending for routine gynecologic examination. METHODS: The study was conducted comparing demographic and behavioral characteristics in two groups of 122 women with T. vaginalis infection and 853 uninfected women. RESULTS: Univariate analysis showed a significant increase of T. vaginalis infection among women with older age and multiple sexual partners. In multiple logistic regression analysis, the higher number of lifetime partners and older age remained significantly associated with T. vaginalis infection. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that T. vaginalis infection might be mainly related to lifestyle risk factors. Therefore, in our opinion, the diagnosis and treatment of this disease should be encouraged on routine gynecologic examination
Direct sequencing of HPV DNA detected in. gynaecologic outpatients in Rome, Italy
No full textIn order to assess the frequency of different human papillomavirus (HPV) types in Rome and the association between HPV and behavioural characteristics, we tested cervical scrapes of a population of sexually active women referring to university clinics for routine gynaecologic care. The presence of HPV DNA was revealed by polymerase chain reaction on two genome regions (L1 and E6/E7) followed by sequencing. Thirty different HPV types were identified; HPV 16 was the most prevalent (14.18%), followed by HPV 53 (9.21%), HPV 58 (7.80%), HPV 6 and 66 (both 5.67%) whereas all the other genotypes ranged below 5%. In univariate analysis the characteristics significantly associated with HPV DNA detection were the youngest age (P < 0.01), the high number of lifetime partners (P < 0.001) and the smoking habit (P < 0.01). In multiple logistic regression analyses, the characteristics significantly associated with HPV DNA detection remained the younger age and the higher number of lifetime sexual partners. This study may be interesting in order to evaluate the circulation of HPV genotypes in Italy and to add a contribution to anti-cancer vaccine development. *VERTERAMO R. and *PIERANGELI A. contributed equally to this work
