[Detection of flat condylomata of the cervix uteri in the Department of Rhône].
In France's Rhône Department, the prevalence of cervical condylomas detected through cervical smears was measured in a systematic study. The rate determined was 1.67% of the women examined. This rate declines slightly with age among women up to 50 years of age, and declines more among those over 50. The study shows a higher frequency of cases in spring (May and June) and in autumn (September and October). We found important geographical variations, with overall higher rates in urban zones. However, there were certain notable exceptions (high rates in some rural areas and low rates in some urban zones). This survey will be followed up to examine the variation of this rate in time. The study has formed the basis of new hypotheses which must be verified by subsequent surveys.
