Cervical Cytopathology in a Population of HIV-Positive and HIV-Negative Women

Table 2

Frequency of abnormal cytology correlated with immunological status in the HIV-positive women.

Abnormal cytology	Immunodeficiency (<200 cels. CD4/mm^3)		Immunosufficiency (>200 cels. CD4/mm^3)		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.
