Abstract
All 26 immunosuppressed renal transplant females attending the Renal Unit at the Western Infirmary, Glasgow were screened by cervical cytology and colposcopy for evidence of cervical neoplasia. Five patients (19.2%) were discovered to have cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, confirming the expected increase in this ‘at risk’ group. Regular cervical screening in these immunosuppressed women is recommended strongly.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
