Cytologic findings in oral contraceptive users among Israeli Jewish women.

A group of 3,317 Jewish Israeli women were studied to evaluate a possible correlation between previous and recent oral contraceptive usage and cervical cytopathologic findings in Papanicolaou smears. A positive correlation was established between oral contraceptive usage and the occurrence of inflammatory findings: the rate of inflammatory changes depended on the length of usage, with a time lapse of at least one year preceding the appearance of such inflammatory changes. The cessation of oral contraceptive usage was associated with a decrease in the rate of inflammatory findings. No cases of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or malignancy were found.

Cytologic detection of Enterobius vermicularis and Strongyloides stercoralis in routine cervicovaginal smears and urocytograms.

Four cases of Enterobius vermicularis infection and one case of Strongyloides stercoralis infection were found during the examination of 22,700 routine Papanicolaou-stained cervicovaginal smears and 434 urinary sediments. Ova of E. vermicularis were observed in the urocytograms from three girls and in the vaginal smear of a young woman. In a second woman, a S. stercoralis larva was detected in the routine vaginal smear. A clear background or a mild inflammatory pattern was noted in the smears in these cases.
