Abstract:
The purpose of the present investigation was to report the presence of cervicovaginal microorganisms most frequently found in cervicovaginal exfoliative smears (Papanicolaou) of patients with type 2 diabetes. Cervical-vaginal exfoliative cytologist was performed on an open population to all patients who attended from March 2010 to March 2020 in the within the framework of the early cancer detection program, gynecological interrogations were applied to 1587 patients who, after taking cell samples, were processed using the Papanicolaou staining technique modified by the same for subsequent microscopic diagnosis.
Of the results obtained from the 1587 patients studied, 148 (9.32%) suffer from type 2 diabetes mellitus and of these only 130 (87.83%) showed at least one microorganism under microscopic observation, being Candida spp., the most found microorganism in samples from patients with type 2 diabetes. In conclusions, type 2 diabetes is a disease that predisposes to the appearance of microorganisms and cervicovaginal infections, particularly by Candida spp., therefore, there is a need for surveillance guidelines and efforts to reverse this disease and its complications.
