Chlamydia trachomatis and Risk of Prevalent and Incident Cervical Premalignancy in a Population-Based Cohort

Abstract

We found no association between C trachomatis status, as assessed by DNA or IgG, and risk of cervical premalignancy, after controlling for carcinogenic HPV-positive status. Previous positive associations between C trachomatis and cervical premalignancy could have been caused, in part, by an increased susceptibility to HPV infection.
