Prevalência da coinfecção entre Papilomavírus Humano (HPV) e Chlamydia trachomatis em mulheres

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the prevalence of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) in women. Methods: Documentary study, such as data from women of hybrid capture for HPV and CT. The data were analyzed by the statistical program Epi Info, and the Chi-Square and Odds Ratio were used, with intervals of 95% confidence (95% CI). The associated p-value less than or equal to 0.05 (p≤0.05) was considered statistically significant. Results: We obtained 313 women, 24.6% were positive for HPV, 10.9% for TC and 3.5% for co-infection. HPV was 85.7% for women diagnosed with ASCUS, 80% with LSIL, 100% with ASCH and HSIL, and 21.4% with normal cytology. For CT, in the cytopathological examination was 28.6% for women diagnosed with ASCUS, 10% with LSIL and 10.5% with normal cytology. The frequency of co-infection was higher in women aged less than or equal to 32 years. On cytopathological examination, 18.2% were diagnosed with ASCUS, 9.1% for LSIL and 72.7% for normal cytology. Conclusion: The data found suggest that there are strategies to clarify the prevention and injuries related to these STIs, as well as the encouragement of screening and the importance of molecular biology in the detection of HPV and CT.
