Frequency of abnormal cytology correlated with immunological status in the HIV-positive women.
| Abnormal cytology | Immunodeficiency (<200 cels. CD4/mm3) | Immunosufficiency (>200 cels. CD4/mm3) | Total | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| N | % | N | % | N | % | |
| ASC-US | 2 | 33 | 4 | 67 | 6 | 100 |
| LSIL | 2 | 25 | 6 | 75 | 8 | 100 |
| HSIL | 0 | 0 | 1 | 100 | 1 | 100 |
Unknown: results of cytology unknown.
ASC-US: atypical squamous cells of unknown significance.
ASC-H: atypical squamous cells, cannot exclude a high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL).
LSIL: low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, according to the Bethesda system.
HSIL: high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, according to the Bethesda system.
