Methods: We collected cervical secretions from patients and examined levels of SIgA and IFN- γ. Results: Levels of SIgA and IFN- γ in the infected group were lower than those in the uninfected group, P1〈0.05 and P2〈0.05. The level of SIgA and IFN- γ in C.t,UU and C.t+UU infected groups were not significantly different. Comparing the negative-changed group with thenonnegative-changed group, the level of SIgA and IFN-γ was 39.22±20.04mg/L and 103.19±29.94pg/ml, 26.00±10.56mg/I and 88.21±15.10pg/ml, P1〉0.05 and P2〉0.05. Conclusion: SIgA and IFN-γ secreted by genital tractmucosa may help prevent and resist local NGU infection.However, the effect is limited, and is insufficient to eliminate infection completely and prevent reinfection.展开更多
