Presence of high-grade intraepithelial lesions among women deprived of their liberty: a documental study

Abstract

Trichomonas vaginalis 12,% e Candida sp em 5,8%. As frequências de amostras com atipias celulares mostraram índices de 4,1% para atipias de significado indeterminado; lesões intraepiteliais de baixo grau 3,2% e lesões intraepiteliais de alto grau 2,5%.Conclui-se sobre a importância do rastreio do câncer cervical nos presídios femininos, bem como a inserção do enfermeiro nesse ambiente, garantindo cuidado individualizado e de qualidade para as mulheres privadas de liberdade.Descritores: Neoplasias do Colo do Útero; Prisões; Enfermagem. Presencia de lesiones intraepiteliales de alto grado a las mujeres privadas de libertad: estudio documentalEl objetivo fue analizar los resultados de la prueba de Papanicolaou de mujeres privadas de libertad. Tipo de estudio documental, con un enfoque cuantitativo, desarrollado en una cárcel de mujeres en Ceará-Brasil, con muestra de 672 archivos. En cuanto a los resultados microbiológicos se comprobó que el principal colonización de cáncer cervicalvaginal fueron los Bacilos sugestivos de Gardnerella/Mobiluncus con 21,8%, seguido de Trichomonas vaginalis 12% y Cándida sp 5,8%. Las frecuencias de las muestras con atipia celular se registraron tasas de 4,1% para Atipias de significado indeterminado;Lesiones Intraepiteliales de bajo grado 3,2% y Lesiones Intraepiteliales de alto grado 2,5%. La conclusión es la importancia de la detección del cáncer cervical en las cárceles de mujeres, así como la inclusión de los enfermeros en este entorno al tiempo que garantiza una calidad y una atención individualizada a las mujeres presas.

Trichomonas, Candida , and Gardnerella in cervical smears of Iranian women for cancer screening

“…This result was obtained by Papanicolaou test which has some limitations such as less sensitivity. [123456789] It also demonstrated that Candida sp was the main cause of vaginal infection (6.7%) and T. vaginalis (0.2%) and Gardnerella (0.6%) had low prevalence rates among these women. Although, our study is confirmed by publications which indicate that candidiasis is the most common vaginal infection in most countries, but the prevalence rate of infective agents obtained from the current study was lower in comparison with other studies in the word and Iran.…”

“…Mehmetoglu et al ,[14] reported that vaginal infection identified in 17.7% (59 out of 332) of the cases by Pap smear and the prevalence of trichomoniasis was 0.6%. Also, Lessa et al ,[8] studied 672 patient records and demonstrated that the main cervical-vaginal colonization was due to Gardnerella/Mobiluncus (21.8%), followed by T. vaginalis (12%), and Candida sp (5.8%). Furthermore, the prevalence of BV, candidiasis, and trichomoniasis in asymptomatic subjects were found 0.4%, 1.1%, and 0.7%, in that order.…”

“…[171819] or BV was observed at reproductive ages. [20] This study found that, although moderate inflammation was a general manifestation in infected women,[8] trichomoniasis causes more inflammation (mild to sever) and ulcers in comparison to candidiasis and Gardnerella [Table 2]. Indeed, Trichomonas , Candida , and Gardnerella are considered as the simultaneous inflammatory events in genital tract.…”

“…[7] Another study demonstrated that T. vaginalis , Candida sp and Gardnerella/Mobiluncus were respectively found in 12%, 5.8%, and 21.8% of pap smears of women in a prison in Brazil. [8] However, many studies have investigated the prevalence of infectious agents among the genital tract using Papanicolaou smear, but there are few studies on large populations of women who have been referred for cervical cancer screening.…”

“…The range of publication dates was wide with studies performed between 1968 and 2017. Included studies were from USA,25–37 Canada,38–42 UK,43–47 Spain,48 49 Italy,50 Brazil,51–54 Peru,55 Mexico,56 57 Taiwan58 and Russia 59.
