Chlamydia Trachomatis.
Introduction: Chlamydia trachomatis is the most frequent sexually transmitted disease in the world and imposes important morbidity on women. Currently there are few studies about its prevalence in our population; therefore
the implementation of a pilot study about its frequency in women with and without acute cervicitis is so important. Objective: Determinate the association between Chlamydia trachomatis and the diagnosis of acute cervicitis in the consulting women in the out and inpatient services of the Hospital Universitario de Santander (HUS). Materials and Methods: Case control study
including 284 patients of adult age
non-pregnant and without menses who consulted at HUS. Cases were all women with acute cervicitis diagnosis and controls were all patients without it. We took and endocervical sampling and a quick diagnosis method applied for Chlamydia trachomatis
Bioline Chlamydia SD. Results: Mean age was 32.08 and 28.82 years for cases and controls
mean difference was 3.27
p = 0.001. There were also differences in the evaluation of marital status; 82.40% controls have a marital relationship versus 71.83% cases
p = 0.014; occupation
more students in the cervicitis group
p = 0.020; and alcohol consumption
21.13% in cervicitis patients versus 11.27% in the control group
p = 0.024. Chlamydia prevalence was 7.04% in controls and 11.97% in cases
p = 0.157. There was no association between acute cervicitis and Chlamydia infection
OR = 1.79 (IC 95% 0.74 4.55). This lack of association persists after adjusting for confusing factors (OR = 1.71
IC 95% 0.72 4.04). In the multivariate analysis only alcohol consumption is associated with acute cervicitis
OR = 4.442 (IC 95% 1.362 14.215). Conclusions: There was no association between Chlamydia trachomatis infection and acute cervicitis. Prevalence was similar for both groups; there was no sociodemographic differences. Only alcohol consumption was associated with bacterial colonization and acute cervicitis
