Vaginal and cervical abnormalities associated with trichomonal infection.
Cytological changes were studied among 393 women, reporting to Samir Health Centre, Khartoum (Sudan), using Papanicolaou staining. Vaginal trichomoniasis was confirmed by wet-mounts and cultural methods. Non-specific inflammatory changes were prominent (17.4%). In 33.5% of parasitised patients, the cervix was found healthy. Cancer of the cervix was not detected in patients investigated.
