Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Oncology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and cervical cancer are significant health concerns.
  • Pregnancy presents unique considerations for screening and management of cervical conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence of cervical infections and CIN among pregnant women.
  • To identify risk factors associated with CIN in this population.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 460 pregnant women underwent Papanicolaou smear testing during their first prenatal visit.
  • Cervical samples were collected using a cervexbrush for cytological examination.

Main Results:

  • A high prevalence of cervical infection was observed in 65.4% of participants (301 women).
  • Four cases of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and two cases of CIN I/II were identified.
  • Forty women (approximately 8.7%) had significant risk factors for CIN development.

Conclusions:

  • Cervical infections are frequent in pregnant women and require attention.
  • Understanding CIN prevalence and managing cervical infections during pregnancy is vital for preventing invasive cervical carcinoma in women, neonates, and male partners.
