چکیده
Worldwide Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae are two of the most prevalent sexually transmitted pathogens. The present study aimed to estimate the prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection in women from Taif, western region, KSA. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was carried using DNA extracted from 144 female urine samples. Primer pairs specific for Orf8 and 16S rRNA was used to detect Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, respectively. The prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae was 11.1 and 2.1% respectively. Further larger studies more focused on other sexual transmitted infections (STIs) are needed.

We investigated the diffusion of HPV genotypes using molecular methods. HPV DNA was detected in 30.4% of women examined. The genotype HPV 16 was the most common followed by HPV 31, HPV 51 and HPV 58. Mixed infections were observed in 30.4% of HPV positive women. The 66.7% of the lower age group (< 35 years) was HPV positive. HPV infection was associated with the presence of morphological abnorm...
