The role of infectious agents in the development of precancerous cervical pathology.

Abstract

Although human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common cause of cervical cancer, it is not the only etiological factor. Cervical neoplasia is also associated with bacterial agents such as Chl. trachomatis, N. gonorrhoeae, M. hominis, and Ureaplasma spp. (H. Ye, T. Song, 2018, J. Smith, 2022). It is known that sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are significantly linked to an increased incidence of cervical cancer (Abebe M, 2022). Genital infections caused by Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) are recognized as a serious health problem. CT is associated with adverse effects on female reproduction and is linked to cervical hypertrophy and squamous metaplasia, indicating a potential connection to HPV infection (Silva, J.2022). The aim of the study. To study the role and structure of infectious (bacterial) agents in the development of precancerous cervical pathology to improve the effectiveness of treatment for this condition.
