High frequency of sexually transmitted infections in patients with precancerous cervical lesions in Brazil
A high prevalence of non-HPV STI co-infections was observed in asymptomatic women with CIN, particularly <i>U. urealyticum,</i> which has been identified as a potential cofactor in HPV-related carcinogenesis. Our findings contribute to the growing body of national and international literature supporting the need for integrating STI screening into cervical cancer prevention strategies for sexually active women in Brazil.
