13. When is bacterial vaginosis not bacterial vaginosis?--a case of cervical carcinoma presenting as recurrent vaginal anaerobic infection.
Vaginal anaerobic infection is the most common cause of vaginal discharge in women. We present a case of recurrent vaginal anaerobic infection and cervical carcinoma and discuss the association of the two conditions. More frequent cytology/colposcopy may be indicated in women who give a history of recurrent or persistent vaginal anaerobic infection.

14. Antenatal screening for candidiasis, trichomoniasis, and gonorrhoea.
Gonorrhoea was not found to be a problem in antenatal patients. It was found in only one out of 625 women, thus confirming other British surveys which do not agree with the North American figures. Candidiasis is commoner than trichomoniasis (27.4 and 4.7 per cent. prevalence respectively) and culture of a high vaginal swab is more effective as a means of dia

15. Possible use of phosphohexose isomerase as a preliminary to exfoliative cytology in screening for cervical carcinoma
The activities of phosphohexose isomerase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase have been studied in the vaginal fluid of women from the gynaecological departments. Women from these departments gave a very high false positive rate, though no cases of carcinoma in situ were not detected by estimating phosphohexose isomerase levels. It gave considerably better

16. Combined external quality assessment of cytology and histology opinions: a pilot scheme for a cluster of five laboratories.
A cluster of five self selected cytodiagnostic laboratories circulated 70 cervical/vaginal smears and 50 sputum smears in a series of five week cycles. Histological sections related to the abnormal smears were also circulated. Proportions of agreement and disagreement were analysed for cervical and sputum smear reports against the original report (and by imp

18. Anal intercourse: a risk factor for anal papillomavirus infection in women?
OBJECTIVE--To determine whether anal intercourse is a risk factor for anal HPV infection in women. DESIGN--Results derived from clinical examination, anal cytology and HPV DNA hybridisation were correlated with data obtained from a questionnaire administered to the patients at the time of their clinical examination. SETTING--A sexually transmitted diseases (

19. Morbidity after termination of pregnancy in first trimester.
The outcome of termination of pregnancy was observed in relation to the preoperative clinical and microbiological findings in 167 women attending a day care abortion unit in Liverpool. Before termination, Chlamydia trachomatis was isolated from the cervix of 19 (11%) of the patients and high counts (greater than 10(4) colour changing units (ccu) per ml of sp

20. A survey of female prostitutes at risk of HIV infection and other sexually transmissible diseases.
OBJECTIVE--To determine risk factors for the transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), including injecting drug use (IDU), sexual behaviour and other sexually transmissible diseases (STDs), in female prostitutes who attended the Sydney Sexual Health (previously STD) Centre. DESIGN--We surveyed by questionnaire 231 (47%) of 491 female prostitutes wh
