title: Cervical cytology in women with bacterial vaginosis.
abstract: 398 symptomatic cases of vaginitis and 43 asymptomatic healthy women were subjected to cervical cytology and microbiological investigations for detection of Bacterial vaginosis, G. vaginalis, T. vaginalis, C. albicans and M. hominis. Cervical inflammatory changes were reported in 81.4% of cases and 60.4% of controls (p < 0.05) and were significantly associated with Bacterial Vaginosis and G. vaginalis infection (p < 0.01). Cervical inflammation was detected in all cases of Trichomonasis.
