Abstract: This study evaluated the effectiveness of Papanicolaou staining for the initial diagnosis of Chlamydial infection in pregnant women. A hundred thirteen patients were examined with a Papanicolaou test, independent of gestational age, parity or maternal age. Three endocervical samples were collected; the first two were collected with a brush (Cytobrush plus, Mediscand, Sweden) and the third with Ayre's spatula. The first specimen was used for McCoy cell culture and the other two were examined cytologically. Chla… Show more

“…This simple, rapid, readily accessible method is also known to provide clues in diagnosing STIs, with the associated inflammatory changes [28]. Several studies have been conducted to assess the utility of this method in CT diagnosis in the past [29][30][31][32][33][34]. Some studies have highlighted the association of cervical epithelial changes and cytological variations including increased histiocytes and transformed lymphocytes with CT infections, indicating Pap smears as screening tests [28,29].…”

“…However, these changes may not be unique to CT infections [30]. In addition, ample data on poor sensitivity of this methodology, provided by various research reports, has marked it as an unreliable method both in screening and diagnosis of CT infections [31][32][33][34].…”
