Presentation
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in immunocompetent hosts is generally asymptomatic or may present as a mononucleosic syndrome. Its association with acute cervicitis and vulvovaginitis has rarely been reported. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Localized Pain
Abstract Fibrosing mediastinitis and sclerosing cervicitis are fibrosclerotic disorders akin to retroperitoneal fibrosis, with presenting symptoms related to local pain or viscus obstruction or both. No definitive treatment is known. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Agalactia
Various case reports have attributed the presence of cervicitis in individual women to infection with certain Streptococcus species [ 55, 56–57 ]—most notably, S. agalactiae (group B streptococcus) and S. pyogenes. [dx.doi.org]

Pelvic Pain
A 24-year-old woman presented with pelvic pain, vulvodynia, abnormal vaginal discharge, burning with urination, fatigue, fever, vomiting and diarrhoea. The vulva and cervix were red with vesicular lesions on the cervix. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Within all the people who go to their doctor with cervicitis, 73% report having sharp abdominal pain, 70% report having vaginal discharge, and 46% report having pelvic pain. [symcat.com]
Symptoms may include purulent discharge, pelvic pain, bleeding between periods or after sexual intercourse, or urinary problems. [hopkinsmedicine.org]

Chronic Pelvic Pain
‘Chlamydial infection can cause urethritis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and result in ectopic pregnancy, infertility, and chronic pelvic pain in women.’ [en.oxforddictionaries.com]
Cervicitis is common and often asymptomatic, but if left undiagnosed or untreated can result in pelvic inflammatory disease, which can lead to substantial long-term ill effects such as infertility and chronic pelvic pain. [bestpractice.bmj.com]
This condition may lead to chronic pelvic pain or may make it very difficult to conceive. If conception does take place, the likelihood of a tubal pregnancy is markedly increased. [studenthealth.cofc.edu]

Cervical Cyst
Nabothian cysts appear as single or multiple cervical cysts and range from a few millimeters to up to 4 cm or more in size. They are hyperintense on T2 weighted imaging and may have variable T1 signal, ranging from isointensity to hypointensity. [radiopaedia.org]

Entamoeba Histolytica
We present a case of amoebic infection of the cervix in a 45-year-old female which was suspected to be a posterior wall fibroid with degeneration until a histopathological examination of the surgical specimen revealed the presence of Entamoeba histolytica [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entamoeba histolytica, and, rarely, LGV serovars of C. trachomatis. CMV or other opportunistic agents might be involved in immunosuppressed HIV-infected patients. [cdc.gov]
Treatment
Empiric treatment did not reduce vaginal symptoms at follow-up in either group. No effect of empiric partner treatment was seen. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] unlikely to return for treatment. [web.archive.org]
If the results demonstrate infection with these pathogens, the appropriate treatment should be given and sex partners referred for evaluation and treatment. [cdc.gov]
Thus, treatment of cervicitis might reduce a woman's risk of transmitting HIV to sex partners, and, therefore, a more aggressive approach to empirical treatment is indicated. [dx.doi.org]
Prognosis
Prognosis of Chronic Cervicitis The prognosis of Chronic Cervicitis is good with treatment and this condition usually resolves after the cause is identified and treated properly. [epainassist.com]
Prognosis Mild chronic cervicitis usually responds to local therapy in 4-8 weeks; more severe chronic cervicitis may require 2-3 months of treatment. [generalhealthtopics.com]
The prognosis of Chronic Cervicitis with adequate treatment is generally good. [dovemed.com]
Presentation Symptoms vaginal discharge pelvic pain erythematous cervical os Physical exam pain on palpation friability when obtaining sample for culture Evaluation DNA probe detects Chlamydia and N. gonorrhoeae Wet mount detects T. vaginalis Pap smear Prognosis [step1.medbullets.com]
Prognosis Mild cervicitis may require no treatment. Acute cervictis caused by venereal disease is transmitted through sexual intercourse and is curable with appropriate treatment. Most other cases of cervicitis can be cured with treatment. [rxmed.com]
Etiology
Trichomonas vaginalis and herpes simplex virus cause cervicitis, and both Mycoplasma genitalium and bacterial vaginosis have emerged as new candidate etiologic agents or conditions. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology Several organisms can cause infectious urethritis. [cdc.gov]
Citobacteriologic examination of secretions is useful to detect the etiology of the cervical infection. [doctortipster.com]
Epidemiology
The epidemiological study revealed that acute cervicitis are predominant 7(5.9%) and 2(1.7%) are chronic cervicitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
