Abstract

Introduction. Detection of ASCUS (Atypical squamous cell of undetermined significance) in smears is difficult and can reported as a false result. Sometimes ASCUS changes equivalented with dysplasia. In our oponion in women with cytologic diagnosis of ASCUS, infectious pathogens are related with changes. The purpose of this study is comparison of infectious pathogens in women with cytologic diagnosis of ASCUS and reactive changes.Methods. This descriptive-analytical study carried out in Alzahra Hospital of Isfahan during the period 1996-2001. This was performed on 1095 cervicovaginal smears.58 smears with ASCUS and 580 with reactive changes were selected. The data were analyzed with chi square and t-test.Results. Frequency of cervical pathogens in smears with ASCUS and Reactive changes were 280 (48.3%) and 170 (29.3%) respectively. The difference between them is significant (P<0.005). Frequency of Trichomonas vaginalis in smears with ASCUS and reactive changes were 27.5% and 1.03% respectively. The difference between them was significant (P=0.001). Frequency of Herpes simplex virus in smear with ASCUS and reactive changes were 1.7% and 0% respectively. The difference between them was significant (P=0.002). There is no significant differences with other pathogens. Discussion. The prevalence of organism in smears with ASCUS is more than reactive. The prevalence of Herpes and Trichomonas pathogens in smears with ASCUS are higher than reactive. Considering the significant difference between frequency of cervical pathogens in ASCUS and reactive changes were determined necessity pay attention to infectious pathogens in ASCUS changes.
