| Summary | Population-based studies on sexually transmitted diseases (STD) which reflect the epidemiological situation more accurately are scarce, so that statements about the frequency of STD are mostly based on studies performed in specific populations. On this background a population-based study in Pacoti, federal state Ceará, Northeast Brazil was undertaken to determine the prevalence of STD among women between 12 and 49 years, who had initiated sexual life. In this paper the prevalence of human Papillomavirus (HPV)-, Neisseria gonorrhoeae- an Chlamydia trachomatis-infections and their relation to living area, age, monthly family income, number of family members, marital status and level of education was investigated. The analyzed cervical lavages as well as demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the women have been made available by the leading gynaecologist of the study. Laboratory testing used ligase chain reaction (LCR) for N. gonorrhoeae and C. trachomatis and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for HPV. HPV-positive lavages were additionally tested by a PCR-based genotyping assay. The prevalences of STD were: HPV 11,7%, C. trachomatis 4,5%, N. gonorrhoeae 1,2%. 16% of the women had an infection with at least one pathogen. Most of the HPV-infected women (65%) had a single infection with HPV. All in all the most frequent genotypes were HPV16, HPV31 and HPV74. The analysis of the risk-factors showed that young women up to 20 years have had a significant higher risk for having at least one STD than women older than 20 years. The same applied to single infection with HPV or C. trachomatis. Also marital status and monthly family income seemed to be a risk-factor, but those were not significant. The number of N. gonorrhoeae infected women was too low to get a meaningful risk-analysis. |
