description Introduction: cervicovaginal infections represent 20% of the gynecological consultation. Objective: to determine the etiology of cervicovaginal infections in outpatients with gynecological symptoms who went to the Hospital. Methods: a descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out. The sample of 222 patients with symptoms was taken from the gynecology office of the Mariana Grajales Gynecological Hospital of Santa Clara, from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018. The information was recorded in a computerized database as Microsoft Excel 2013 and absolute, relative frequencies and percentage were determined. Results: the most frequent symptoms were abnormal vaginal discharge, pruritus, burning and pain under belly. The frequency of Candida spp, bacterial vaginosis, Ureaplasma spp and Chlamydia trachomatis were higher, while Mycoplasmas hominis and Ureaplasma spp, Mycoplasma hominis and Trichomonas vaginalis coinfection were present in lesser percent. Conclusions: Candida spp and bacterial vaginosis were the most frequent causes of cervicovaginal infections.
