Vaginal biocoenosis examining comparing to exfoliative cervical cytology
Journal Title: Progress in Health Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
<b>Introduction</b>: At present, the gynaecologists have been increasingly frequently switching from vaginal biocoenosis assessment towards cervical cytology results to obtain information on the type of infection. Exfoliative cervical cytology is a screening test for dysplastic intraepithelial lesions and ectocervical cancers. One should emphasize however that one of the four parts of the new Bethesda classification specifies such inflammatory lesions as: <i>Trichomonas vaginalis, Candida, Actinomyces, Chlamydia</i>, cellular changes consistent with HSV infection and changes of bacterial flora. The gynaecologists however may perform vaginal biocoenosis assessment individually and diagnose its abnormalities in a relatively short timeframe.Conclusions: Lack of 100% correlation between the vaginal biocoenosis test and cytological result according to the Bethesda system means that assessment of vaginal microflora in phase-contrast microscopy should not be abandoned.
