MODERN METHODS AND CLINICAL-DIAGNOSTIC ASPECTS OF DETECTING INFECTIOUS LESIONS OF THE CERVIX IN CERVICAL PATHOLOGY

This article presents an overview of modern methods and clinical-diagnostic approaches for the detection of infectious lesions of the cervix in the context of cervical pathology. Special attention is given to the role of viral and bacterial infections, particularly high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV), as key etiological factors in the development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and other pathological conditions of the cervix.
