| Abstract | Context: Human papillomavirus ( HPV) infection has been established as a cause of cervical cancer. Epidemiologic studies suggest that Chlamydia trachomatis infection also confers increased risk for cervical squamous cell carcinoma ( SCC). Whether this risk is serotype-specific is unknown. Objective: To study the association between exposure to different C trachomatis serotypes and subsequent development of cervical SCC. Design and Setting: Longitudinal, nested case-control study within a cohort of 530 000 women who provided samples to serum banks in Finland, Norway, and Sweden. The data files were linked to respective national cancer registries. Subjects: One hundred twenty-eight women who had developed invasive cervical SCC at least 12 months following serum donation. Each case had 3 matched controls. Main Outcome Measure: Risk for the development of cervical SCC by Ig: G antibodies to 10 different C trachomatis serotypes, adjusted for antibodies to HPV types 16, 18, and 33 and for serum cotinine levels. Results: Of specific C trachomatis serotypes, serotype G was most strongly associated with SCC (adjusted odds ratio [ OR], 6.6; 95% confidence interval [ CI], 1.6-27.0). Other serotypes associated with SCC were I ( OR, 3.8; 95% CI, 1.3-11.0) and D ( OR, 2.7; 95% CI, 1.3-5.6). Presence of serum Ig: G antibodies to more than 1 serotype increased the adjusted ORs for SCC ( P<.001 for trend). Conclusions: Chlamydia trachomatis serotype G is most strongly associated with subsequent development of cervical SCC. Increasing numbers of exposures to different C trachomatis serotypes also increases risk. Our results strengthen the evidence that there is a link between past C trachomatis infection and cervical SCC. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
