Qualitative and quantitative modifications were observed in urethral smears made from week 37 to week 41 of amenorrhoea and showing leucocytes in the desquamation. The number of cell clusters decreased; the numbers of false clusters and of isolated cells with rounded borders increased. Columnar cells and degenerating isolated nuclei are often seen in these inflammatory smears. The quantitative fluctuations of epithelial clusters and of columnar cells are connected with the number of weeks of amenorrhoea on the one hand, and the quantity of leucocytes on the other. The presence of an inflammatory process can alter the diagnosis as far as the term of the pregnancy is concerned; and therefore limits the use of urethral cytology.
在闭经第37周到第41周期间制作的尿道涂片可见定性和定量变化，涂片显示有脱屑的白细胞。细胞团数量减少；假细胞团和边界圆润的孤立细胞数量增加。在这些炎性涂片中常可见柱状细胞和退化的孤立细胞核。上皮细胞团和柱状细胞的数量波动一方面与闭经周数有关，另一方面与白细胞数量有关。炎症过程的存在可能会改变妊娠期限的诊断；因此限制了尿道细胞学的应用。
