Summary: | Introduction
Cervical cancer is the second commonest female cancer worldwide after breast cancer. Human papilloma virus (HPV) is a common and necessary cause for cervical cancer development. But due to specific inflammations made by other sexually transmitted/parasitic/microbial infections like
Trichomonas vaginalis
(TV),
Wuchereria bancrofti
and
Candida albicans,
the changes in cellular feature and its association with the development of the cervical lesions were not clear.
Objectives
The aim of the study was to finding out the association between lower genital tract infection and cervical exfoliative cytology.
Results
Result showed the mean (mean ± sd) age of the women was 36.8 ± 7.7 years with range 30–60 years. Women of age 30–40 years have significantly (
p
