The association of Chlamydia trachomatis and human papillomavirus co-infection with abnormal cervical cytology among women in south of Morocco.

Purpose: Evidence indicates that human papillomavirus (HPV) and Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) co-infection increases the risk of developing cervical pathogenesis. This study aims to assess the prevalence and possible risk factors of CT and HPV/CT co-infection in women from South of Morocco with normal and abnormal cytology.

Methods: Participants were recruited after signing an informed consent.

Awareness and knowledge associated to Human papillomavirus infection among university students in Morocco: A cross-sectional study.

This study aims to determine the level of awareness, knowledge and the associated factors on HPV among university students in Morocco. A cross-sectional study was conducted with a descriptive and analytical aim, among students attending Ibn Zohr University, in Agadir, Morocco.

Genetic Polymorphism of Drug-Metabolizing Enzymes CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 in Moroccan Population.

Background: The polymorphic cytochrome P450 isoenzymes CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 are involved in the biotransformation of a wide variety of clinical drugs. Their major alleles occur with varying frequencies among different populations worldwide and have been associated with a varied capacity to degrade important therapeutic agents. This gives rise to important individual and interethnic variability in drug metabolism and may be the cause for different clinical responses regarding drug administration.
