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  = 0.01) high microbial infection than the negative group. Women who were of younger age at the time of marriage (
