Abstract :
The number of putative etiological agents implicated in cervicitis is growing and includes Mycoplasma genitalium, herpes simplex virus, cytomegalovirus, bacterial vaginosis and Trichomonas. The potential role of cervicitis in HIV transmission has been highlighted. Increasing broad-spectrum antibiotic usage with associated emergence of antimicrobial resistance reinforces
the need for targeted antibiotic therapies,or vaginal cream .diffrent antibiotics treat different types of infection including the management of cervicitis. As our understanding of the etiology and significance of cervicitis, particularly nonspecific cervicitis, improves, management will be refined.A standardized approach to cervicitis research, particularly with consensus of case definition,
may facilitate outcomes that can be more generally applied in clinical practice. The term cervicitis is reserved to infection of the endocervix including the glands and the stroma .the infection may be acute and chronic .
