Trends in infections detected in women with cervicitis over a decade
In our study population, chlamydia or gonorrhoea were not detected in ∼75% of cervicitis cases; 1 in 3 of these cases had BV and/or <i>M. genitalium</i>, and both increased in prevalence over time. These data highlight the need for clinicians to consider BV and <i>M. genitalium</i> when assessing and managing cervicitis.
