Abstract

There has been an increasing number of reports of ACTINOMYCES infecting the female genital tract, particularly in women using an intrauterine contraceptive device (I.U.D) Most of findings are based on the detection of ACTINOMYCES spp. in papanicolaou smears and immunofluoresence with actynomyces antisera. Other organisms normally present in the vagina may resemble ACTINOMYCES in papanicolaou smears and if antisera are not tested against a wide range of anaerobs, cross-reactions with other bacterial species may occur.In this study microbiological techniques were' used enabling us to isolate ACTINOMYCES spp. from cervicovaginal specimens. The population was consisted of 514 women attending obstetrics and gynecology clinics. The cervico-vaginal swab specimens were obtained from two groups of women. The first group was consisted of274 users of the I.U.D and the second group was consisted of 240 women without the I.U.D. The patients had symptoms such as vaginal discharge, cervicitis, vulval irritation, pelvic pain, hemorrhage and irregular bleeding. The cervico-vaginal smears were stained with the gram stain and were screened for evidence of ACTINOMYCES like organisms. Examination of cervico-vaginal smears revealed the presence of the ACTINOMYCES-like organisms in 16.78% of the women having the I.U.D and 13.75% of the woman without the I.U.D. Actiomyces were isolated by culturing the cervico-vaginal specimen from the two groups, consisting of 50 cases (18.24%) of the women with the I.U.D, and 35 cases (14.58%) of the women without an I.U.D. The difference between the two groups of women was not statistically meaningful. Our finding indicated that the type of I.U.D is not related to the colonized ACTINOMYCES, and the organisms isolated from the both lypes of I.U.D supper devices (Cupper-T), and plastic devices (Lipps-Loop), had no significant differences.In this study we found no relationship between the duration of the use of the I.U.D and the ACTINOMYCES colonisation increase. The isolated species from the two groups were: A. ISRAELII (50%), A.naeslundii (35%), and A.viscosus (14%).These findings suggest that ACTINOMYCES are naturally present in genital tract of some women and the use of I.U.D has not caused a significant increase in the rate of positive ACTINOMYCES cases.
