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]

Most cases are asymptomatic or present with vaginal discharge, intermenstrual bleeding, dyspareunia or postcoital bleeding. Sometimes, this benign condition may present in unusual forms proving to be a diagnostic problem for clinicians. [liebertpub.com]

The endocervical canal and ectropion (cervical ectopy), if present, are lined by columnar epithelial cells. [accessmedicine.mhmedical.com]

• Recurrent Bacterial Infection

  The incidence of this is unknown, as it is likely underreported or mislabeled as various other common vaginal issues like recurrent bacterial infections. [visualdx.com]

• Recurrent Inflammation

  Definition/Description Cervicitis is defined as the inflammatory response of the cervix to a particular stimuli[1] Can be acute or chronic; with chronic occurring due to inadequate treatment or recurrent inflammation[1] Non-specific cervicitis is the [physio-pedia.com]

• 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]

  […] transmitted organisms, especially N. gonorrhoeae and C. trachomatis, are implicated in many cases; however, microorganisms that comprise the vaginal flora (e.g., anaerobes, G. vaginalis, Haemophilus influenzae, enteric Gram-negative rods, and Streptococcus agalactiae [cdc.gov]

• 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]

  Symptoms may include purulent discharge, pelvic pain, bleeding between periods or after sexual intercourse, or urinary problems. [hopkinsmedicine.org]

  ‘Chlamydial infection can cause urethritis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and result in ectopic pregnancy, infertility, and chronic pelvic pain in women.’ [en.oxforddictionaries.com]

  These are the most common symptoms of cervicitis: Discharge that contains pus Pelvic pain Bleeding between periods or after sex Urinary problems Infections within the vagina are easily passed to the cervix. [urmc.rochester.edu]

• Metrorrhagia

  The symptoms include leukorrhea, low back pain, hypogastric pain, dyspareunia, dysmenorrhea, dysuria, urinary frequency and urgency, metrorrhagia, and cer-vical dystocia. [generalhealthtopics.com]

• Progesterone Increased

  In the luteal phase of the cycle, progesterone increases the viscosity and reduces the volume of endocervical mucous. [accessmedicine.mhmedical.com]

• Gram-Positive Rods

  Direct microscopy of the samples showed Gram-positive rods among polymorphonuclear cells (more than 10 per high-power field). Many of the polymorphonuclear cells seemed to try to phagocytize the rods (Figures 1 and 2). [researchopenworld.com]

  When a Gram stain is used, determining the relative concentration of lactobacilli (long Gram-positive rods), Gram-negative and Gram-variable rods and cocci (i.e., G. vaginalis, Prevotella, Porphyromonas, and peptostreptococci), and curved Gram-negative [cdc.gov]

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]

Mucopurulent cervicitis will often persist despite treatment if due to an ectropion, however no further treatment is required. [sti.guidelines.org.au]

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]

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]

Citobacteriologic examination of secretions is useful to detect the etiology of the cervical infection. [doctortipster.com]

For persistent / chronic cervicitis, it is more likely that the etiology will be related to a noninfectious cause. [visualdx.com]

Etiology Several organisms can cause infectious urethritis. [cdc.gov]

The epidemiological study revealed that acute cervicitis are predominant 7(5.9%) and 2(1.7%) are chronic cervicitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
