We determined the histologic correlates of clinically identified mucopurulent cervicitis,
culture-proven cervical infection with Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae,
herpes simplex virus (HSV), and vaginal infection with Trichomonas vaginalis by examining
cervical biopsies from 83 women. Clinical mucopurulent cervicitis and culture-documented
infection with one or more of these pathogens correlated histologically with intraepithelial
neutrophils, reactive endocervical cells, edema, luminal neutrophils, and with several …
