E. coli cervicitis

*E. coli* cervicitis refers to an infectious inflammatory condition of the uterine cervix caused by the gram-negative bacillus *Escherichia coli*, affecting the female lower reproductive tract Clinically, it is characterized by cervical erythema, friability, edema, and purulent or mucopurulent endocervical exudate, often presenting with abnormal vaginal discharge, pelvic discomfort, postcoital spotting, or dysuria

*E. coli* cervicitis refers to an infectious inflammatory condition of the uterine cervix caused by the gram-negative bacillus *Escherichia coli*, affecting the female lower reproductive tract It arises when uropathogenic or enteric strains ascend from the perineum or rectum, colonizing the ectocervix or endocervical canal, frequently in the setting of disrupted vaginal flora, instrumentation, or contiguous genitourinary infection

Clinically, it is characterized by cervical erythema, friability, edema, and purulent or mucopurulent endocervical exudate, often presenting with abnormal vaginal discharge, pelvic discomfort, postcoital spotting, or dysuria

If untreated, the infection carries a risk of ascending into the upper reproductive tract, potentially precipitating endometritis or pelvic inflammatory disease
