MIRANDA, Angélica Espinosa et al. Brazilian Protocol for Sexually Transmitted Infections 2020: infections that cause cervicitis. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.esp1, e2020587. Epub 28-Fev-2021. ISSN 1679-4974. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/s1679-4974202100008.esp1.
Infections that cause cervicitis are a topic presented in the “Clinical Protocol and Therapeutic Guidelines for Comprehensive Care for People with Sexually Transmitted Infections”, published by the Brazilian Ministry of Health in 2020. The document was developed based on scientific evidence and validated in discussions with experts. This article presents epidemiological and clinical aspects of infections that cause cervicitis, as well as recommendations on screening, diagnosis and treatment of affected people and their sexual partnerships. In addition, it discusses strategies for surveillance, prevention and control of these infections for health professionals and health service managers involved in the programmatic and operational management of sexually transmitted infections. Expanding access to diagnostic tests and early treatment are crucial for controlling the spread of pathogens that cause cevicitis.
