Cytomegalovirus infection of the female genital tract. Histologic findings in three cases and review of the literature.
Three cases of cytomegalovirus infection of the female genital tract, diagnosed on curettage, revealed a characteristic, although nonspecific histologic picture. This consisted of dense lymphocytic and plasma cell infiltrates with lymphoid follicles and signs of rapid cell turnover in the cervix when the latter was affected. The characteristic inclusions were very scant or even absent. The symptoms were not of diagnostic value.
