To assess the frequency of HSV-2 and Treponema pallidum markers and their relationship with characteristics of women during gynecological outpatient visits.
In 1994 and 1995, two populations of 388 and 448 women were studied in two hospitals; one in Cuernavaca, Morelos, México, and the other in Mexico City. Participants provided a blood specimen for detection of antibodies against HSV-2 and T pallidum using the Western blot technique and the VDRL and FTA-ABS tests. Also, participants answered a questionnaire on their sociodemographic characteristics and sexual behavior. The data were analyzed with the SPSS and EGRET statistical packages.
The frequencies of HSV-2 antibodies were 28.3% in women from the first hospital, and 18.1% for those in the second. The frequencies of T pallidum antibodies were 2.3% and 1.1%, respectively. Age, marital status, education level, and number of sexual partners were associated with HSV-2 infection.
Low frequencies were found for infection by the microorganisms studied in both groups. HSV-2 infection was associated to exposure periods, sexual behavior, and socioeconomic level. The English version of this paper is available at:http://www.insp.mx/salud/index.html.
评估妇科门诊就诊女性中单纯疱疹病毒2型（HSV - 2）和梅毒螺旋体标志物的出现频率及其与女性特征的关系。
1994年和1995年，在两家医院对两组女性进行了研究，一组388名，另一组448名；一组在墨西哥莫雷洛斯州库埃纳瓦卡的一家医院，另一组在墨西哥城的一家医院。参与者提供血液样本，采用蛋白质印迹技术以及性病研究实验室试验（VDRL）和荧光密螺旋体抗体吸收试验（FTA - ABS）检测抗HSV - 2和梅毒螺旋体的抗体。此外，参与者回答了一份关于其社会人口学特征和性行为的问卷。数据使用SPSS和EGRET统计软件包进行分析。
第一家医院女性中HSV - 2抗体出现频率为28.3%，第二家医院为18.1%。梅毒螺旋体抗体出现频率分别为2.3%和1.1%。年龄、婚姻状况、教育水平和性伴侣数量与HSV - 2感染有关。
两组中所研究微生物的感染率均较低。HSV - 2感染与暴露时间、性行为和社会经济水平有关。本文的英文版本可在以下网址获取：http://www.insp.mx/salud/index.html。
