Abstract :

Vaginitis is the most common problem in adult women. The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of microorganism and common coinfections from pap smear in rural area of Enathur, Kancheepuram. A study was conducted in the Department of pathology, Meenakshi Medical College and Research Institute, Kancheepuram. Samples of Pap smear from patients with symptoms of vaginitis were studied from June 2016 to May 2017. All the smears were stained with papanicoulou and hematoxylin+eosin stain. A total number of 625 cases are collected and statistically analyzed.

The microorganisms noted in this area are coccobacilli, candida and trichomonas. The most common cause for vaginitis is bacterial vaginosis, and the frequent mixed infection is Bacterial vaginosis with candidiasis. Simple conventional pap smear test is helpful to identify the causative organism for vaginitis.
