title: Vaginal and cervical abnormalities associated with trichomonal infection.
abstract: 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.
