conclusions the results of this study showed that there was a high prevalence of c. trachomatis infection among both symptomatic and asymptomatic women. therefore, a screening test for c. trachomatis infection is recommended for all women who refer to the genitourinary medicine clinic. screening programs are important for cost effectiveness calculations of c. trachomatis infections especially i...

We present four cases of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection detected by cervical cytology of asymptomatic young women. One patient who had undergone bone marrow transplantation was immunosuppressed, but no factors predisposing to CMV infection were identified in the other three patients. A cervical biopsy specimen from a fifth patient, who was also asymptomatic, demonstrated the locus of CMV infec...

Aztreonam, 1 g intramuscularly, was compared with spectinomycin, 2 g intramuscularly, for uncomplicated gonorrhea. There were no failures with either drug. For aztreonam, there were 26 urethral, 3 rectal, and 3 endocervical sites that were infected. Aztreonam in a single dose of 1 g intramuscularly is satisfactory therapy for uncomplicated urethral gonorrhea in men and may be effective for rect...

This retrospective study refers to the evolution rate of cervical lesions diagnosed from cervical biopsies, respectively the endocervical scrape collected from 2001 to 2008 and found its place as an introduction to a further complex study. In this period of 8 years, in our laboratory were processed a total of 1387 biopsies and endocervical scrape. All histopathological diagnoses can be classifi...

Chlamydia trachomatis causes a predominantly asymptomatic, but generally inflammatory, genital infection that is associated with an increased risk for HIV acquisition. Endocervical epithelial cells provide the major niche for this obligate intracellular bacterium in women, and the endocervix is also a tissue in which HIV transmission can occur. The mechanism by which CT infection enhances HIV s...

Cervical adenomyomas of endocervical type (endocervical adenomyomas) are very rare benign lesions.

The patient was 8 weeks pregnant and complained of spotting and feeling a mass protruding from her vagina for 2 months. Physical examination revealed the...

June 29, 2011 The patient was a 30 year old female patient, para 0, who was diagnosed to have a cervical adenocarcinoma on a screening PAP smear. A subsequent endocervical curettage revealed a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma with focal invasion. She underwent a cone biopsy and a repeated endocervical curettage which revealed an adenocarcinoma in situ with two foci of microinvasion cons...

Papanicolaou smears have false-negative rates of 6 percent to 56 percent that are due, in large part, to inadequate sampling of endocervical cells. A randomized, prospective trial was conducted comparing the adequacy of Papanicolaou smears obtained with the cytobrush and Ayre spatula with smears obtained with the extended-tip spatula, as measured by the presence of endocervical cells. One hundr...
