AB A retrospective chart review was conducted for one year to determine
cervical cytological abnormalities and their distribution among women
attending a STD clinic, and to analyse cervical cytologies by STD
diagnosis and history or presence of genital warts. Analysis was
performed on 790 Pap smears. Most (60%) cytologies were benign.
Prevalence of STD among CIN-1 cytologies (78%) was significantly higher
(P = 0.02) than among benign cytologies (46%). Commonest cytologies
presenting among youngest age groups were CIN-1/condyloma, CIN-1, CIN-2.
Women with preceding or concurrent clinical HPV infection had
significantly more HPV associated changes on cytology (P < 0.001) than
women with no such history. The presentation of cytological
abnormalities considered to be precursors to cervical cancer among
sexually active young women demonstrates the importance of Pap smear
testing of STD clinic populations.
