In a group of 184 women infected with Corynebacterium vaginale (Haemophilus vaginalis), 34 over age 30 were divorced or separated and 8 gave a history of induced abortion. Fifty-one percent were taking an oral contraceptive drug, as compared to 36 of 140 women in a control group. Various sexually transmitted diseases were diagnosed either concomitantly or at another time in 52 of women in the study group and 38 of those in the control group. The rate of cervical neoplasia (invasive carcinoma, carcinoma in situ, and dysplasia) was 13.6 in the study group and 5.7 in the control group, the rate in the study group being several times that in the general population. These and other available epidemiologic data support the conclusion that C vaginaleis transmitted sexually. |
