Comparative studies of microbiological, colpocytogram and ureacytogram in patients with pelvic inflammatory disease

ABSTRACT

Twenty patients suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease [PID] and 20 normal women were subjected to good history taking, general clinical and pelvic examination, cytological and bacteriological tests. The colpocytogram study succeeded to diagnose 20% of specific infection and 60% of non specific infection, in comparison to bacteriological study which revealed that non specific infection was found in the whole cases of PID and 70% of these cases had specific infection. These results showed that colpocytogram may not necessarily for diagnoses of PID. Urocytogram revealed that 50% of the studied group had evidence of non specific infection, and no case had evidence of specific infection while only 10% of the studied group showed significant bacteriuria, and this also indicate that not all the cases of pelvic inflammatory disease have in the same time urinary tract infection
