| Abstract | ||
| This study included 450 cervical swabs collected from women suffering from cervicitis attending the gynecological/obstetrics department at two hospitals in Najaf (Al-Zahraa maternity and children hospital and AL- Hakeem general hospital) between April 2005 to January 2006. A total of 628 isolates were obtained these included high percentage (58.4%) of bacterial cervicitis especially Staphylococcus aureus isolates (23%), followed by Candida albicans 23.4 %, Trichomonans vaginalis 7%. The main age group of disease occurrence was 25-34 years of age (29.9%), and was more common among patients of urban residency and most women were of non-educated group. It was found that the bacterial infection plays an important and significant role (P<0.05) in the causation of post-abortion cervicitis specially at 0-8 weeks of pregnancy (57%), whereas contraceptive using was considered as an important predisposing factor for cervicitis (P<0.05). | ||
