Five hundred randomly selected sexually active women attending antenatal, postnatal, family planning and gynaecological clinics in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, had questionnaires administered on their sexual attitudes/ behaviour and their 'pap'smears taken for cytological assessment. The aim was to identify any significant association between sexual attitudes/behaviour and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) for the purpose of targeting the population most at risk. Ninety-one women had varying degrees of CIN, a prevalence rate of 18.2%. However, multiple sexual partners was the only factor incriminated to significantly increase the risk of occurrence of CIN. Targeting women with multiple sexual partners may help in directing limited screening resources to those more likely to be positive.

Sexually Transmitted Infections01:26

Sexually Transmitted Infections

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...

Microbiota of the Urogenital Tract

The human urogenital system, once thought to be sterile in healthy individuals, is now recognized as a complex microbial habitat. Advancements in molecular sequencing techniques have revealed that even in healthy adults, the kidneys and bladder harbor microbial populations similar to those found in the distal urethra, albeit in much lower abundance. These resident microorganisms, while generally innocuous, can become opportunistic pathogens under conditions that alter the urogenital...
Amebiasis01:28

Amebiasis

Entamoeba histolytica, a protozoan parasite, is responsible for intestinal and extraintestinal amebiasis. Though a significant proportion of infections remain asymptomatic, approximately 50 million individuals annually are estimated to present with clinical disease, resulting in up to 100,000 deaths globally. The disease burden is disproportionately high in regions with lower socioeconomic status, such as parts of India, Africa, Mexico, and Latin America.Etiology and TransmissionThe infective...
