Sažetak

Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia is characterized by the appearance of epithelial dysplasia and presents a preinvasive lesion of the cervix. Although it mostly does not cause specific subjective symptoms, it is however potentially dangerous because of possible development of cervical carcinoma. For now, cervical dysplasia and cervical cancer are associated with human papilloma virus (HPV). There is still an insufficient number of epidemiological studies dealing with possible correlation between Chlamydia trachomatis and Ureaplasma urealyticum with preinvasive lesion of the cervix in the general population of women. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the prevalence of C. trachomatis and U. urealyticum in women with abnormal Pap test cells: atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US and ASC-H), squamous intraepithelial lesions of low grade (CIN I) and squamous intraepithelial lesions of high grade (CIN II and CIN III). In a series of 3426 Pap tests, collected at the Sunce Clinic in Zagreb, 270 (8%) results were found abnormal (ASC-US, ASC-H, CIN I, CIN II, CIN III). Atotal of 183 smears were taken for C. trachomatis and U. urealyticum detection, and in 64 patients (35 %) the finding proved positive. Among these there were also 53 patients with dysplasia. Laboratory analysis performed at the Croatian National Institute of Public Health detected 44 U. urealyticum and seven C. trachomatis (8%) isolates. In two patients both pathogens were detected.
