title: [Urinary oestrogens and vaginal cytology in late pregnancy (author's transl)].
abstract: 72 vaginal wall smears were taken from 51 women in late pregnancy. The following indices were evaluated: Eosinophilia, pyknosis, Crowded cell and Folded cell index. These indices were compared with urinary oestrogen levels. Statistical evaluation showed no relation between these indices and the total oestrogens in the urine. The Aetiology of the oestrogenic appearance of the smear some days before delivery in spite of constant oestrogen values is discussed.
