[Proliferative activity of epithelium of cervix uteri in sexually-transmitted diseases]

Comprehensive examination of patients with pseudoerosions of the cervix uteri showed that 71.1% of young nulliparous women have sexually-transmitted infections. Comparative study of proliferative and metabolic activity of integumental epithelial cells using historadioautography showed the highest level of DNA and RNA synthesis in the epithelial cells of the cervix uteri in the patients suffering from chlamydiasis, viral infections, and their combinations. Such patients should be referred to a group at risk of developing dysplasia of the cervix uteri and are in need of active specific treatment.
