[Comparative epidemiologic study of 120 patients with condylomatous lesions and 120 control patients]

The authors compared 120 women who had condylomata with 120 controls. The patients were more frequently single or divorced than the controls. Age at first sexual intercourse was the same in the patients and in the controls, but the total number of sexual partners was higher in the patients than in the controls. The age at first pregnancy was 24 years in the patients and 28 in the controls. About equal numbers of genital infections were found in the history of the controls as in the patients. On the other hand some specific urogenital infections were more frequent in the patients. Chlamydia diagnosed by a positive level at 1/64 in the serum test occurred in 21.4 per cent of patients and 5.5 per cent of controls.
