Abstract		Objective: To determine bacterial and yeast infection of the uterine cervix in women with different grades of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Stuy design: 578 patients with CIN were included in this study. In order to determine the presence of bacterial and yeast infection, a cervical swab was obtained before conization of the uterine cervix. After surgery and the definitive histology report, the frequency of bacterial and yeast infection in different grades of CIN was calculated. Results: Among 578 patients with CIN, bacterial or yeast infection was present in 379 (65.6%) patients. In patients with CIN 1, infection was present in 20 (71.4%), in CIN 2 in 106 (69.7%) and in CIN 3 in 252 (63.3%) cases. The differences in the frequency of infection among all three groups are not significant. Consultion: In patients with CIN bacterial and yeast infection of the uterine cervix is very common. Its occurrence does not depend on the grade of CIN.
