Association between human papillomavirus infection and common sexually transmitted infections, and the clinical significance of different Mycoplasma subtypes.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, especially persistent high-risk HPV, is associated with cervical cancer. Female reproductive tract microecological disorders and lower genital tract infections have been increasingly correlated with HPV infection and cervical lesions. Due to their common risk factors and transmission routes, coinfection with other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) has become a concern. Additionally, the clinical significance of Mycoplasma subtypes appear to vary. This study aimed to assess the correlations between common STIs and HPV infection, and to investigate the clinical significance of Mycoplasma subtypes.

Methods

We recruited 1,175 patients undergoing cervical cancer screening at the Peking University First Hospital
