Association between lower genital tract infection and cervical cytological abnormalities

Objective?To study the association between abnormal cervical cytology and bacterial vaginosis (BV), vulvovaginal candidiasis(VVC), trichomonas vaginitis(TV), high-risk human papillomavirus(HR-HPV) infection in women attending cervical cancer screening. Methods?The study recruited 3 300 women aged 21 to 64 years of age who participated in cervical cancer screening. Demographic information was collected. Cervical exfoliated cell specimens were collected for liquid-based cytological diagnosis and HR-HPV detection. Reproductive tract secretions specimens were collected for molecular vaginitis diagnostics from women who were diagnosed with negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy(NILM) and all HR-HPV positive or ≥atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance(ASC-US). The Logistic multivariate model was used to analyze the risk factors of abnormal cervical cytology. Results?645 women were included in the study, including 408 NILM, 182 ASC-US, 23 low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), and 32 high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL). The positive rate of HR-HPV (14.7%, 39.0%, 78.3% and 87.5%) increased with the severity of cytology (P<0.001). The prevalence of BV in different cytological diagnosis (34.1%, 49.5%, 60.9% and 43.8%) were significantly different (P<0.001), and the prevalence of BV in ASC-US were significantly higher than that in women with NILM (P<0.05). The prevalence of VVC in different cytological diagnosis (14.2%, 4.9%, 8.7% and 3.1%) was significantly different (P<0.01), and the ASC-US group was significantly lower than the NILM group (P<0.001). There was also a significant difference in the distribution of the prevalence of TV (2.5%, 9.3%, 4.3%, and 6.3%, P<0.01). The prevalence of TV in women with abnormal cytology was higher than that in women with normal cytology(P<0.05). The Logistic analysis showed that HR-HPV infection, BV, TV, VVC, lower level of education, and postmenopause were related to abnormal cervical cytology. Conclusion?HR-HPV infection is the determinant of abnormal cervical cytology. BV, TV, VVC, lower level of education, postmenopause, etc. may associate with abnormal cervical cytology.
