Cervicovaginal cell changes in women with HIV / AIDS Cambios celulares cervicovaginales en mujeres con VIH/SIDA

Abstract

The female population living with HIV / AIDS is more predisposed to suffer gynecological alterations in the different stages of the infection due to its immunosuppression, such as: opportunistic infections, ease in the development of HPV and intraepithelial lesions. This is how the idea of analyzing these cytological changes arises, how often they are presented and what the literature says about this topic. For this, we worked with 50 women infected by the VIII regardless of the age and the symptomatic state or not in which they were, being observed in 20% of the normal samples, reactive inflammatory changes and infections, 16% of LSIL and 13% of HSIL and ASCUS.
