Abstract:
Fifty patients between 18 and 70 years of age from Gynecology and Obstetrics Department, Hospital General "Gonzalo Castañeda" ISSSTE, were studied. Patients were referred for bearing positive cytology with mild, moderate and severe dysplasia; also intentional search for Chlamydia trachomatis was made, both in cytology as well as with the immunofluorescence method, and also directed biopsy. A positive association was found in 10 patients (20%) proving that Chlamydia trachomatis is a promotor and modifier of cervical atypia.
