<p><strong>Methods: </strong>44 women with acute (1 group) endocervicitis and 89 with chronic endocervicitis (2 group) were studied. For detection of Chlamydia trachomatis, Herpes simplex type 2 and Cytomegalovirus the method of Dot-hybridization with biotin-labeled DNA probes was used. Endocervical samples were taken in each case for microbiology study for identification of bacterial agents by the usual methods.</p>
<p><strong>Results: </strong>The detected infectious agents are represented in the following table.</p>

<p>Isolated infection such as Chlamydia trachomatis was found at 9,1% of the patients 1 group and 10% of the patients 2 group, HSV-2 at 7,9% (2 group), CMV at 4,5% (2 group). The diagnostic titers of bacterial agents such as Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Enterococcus spp., Escherichia coli were detected 2,2 times more frequently at the patients with acute endocervicitis 36,4% (at 2 group only 16,9%). Mixed infection was detected in 72,7% patients of 1 group and 78,7% - 2 group.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Endocervicitis are mostly associated with mixed infection (in 72,7% patients of 1 group and 78,7%) - 2 group.</p>
