A review is presented of the vaginal cytology, pathologic changes and clinical implications of intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) usage, with special reference to IUD-related actinomycosis. The laboratory diagnosis of Actinomyces in routinely stained cervicovaginal smears is discussed, including the cytopathology of actinomycosis and the cytomorphologic, histochemical and immunofluorescence identification of the organism. The differential diagnosis of Actinomyces organisms in vaginal smears is detailed. The clinicopathologic correlation and histopathology of actinomycosis are presented, as is a discussion of its management. Finally, the IUD-related cytopathologic cellular changes are described and illustrated.
本文综述了宫内节育器（IUD）使用的阴道细胞学、病理变化及临床意义，特别提及与IUD相关的放线菌病。讨论了在常规染色的宫颈阴道涂片中放线菌的实验室诊断，包括放线菌病的细胞病理学以及该微生物的细胞形态学、组织化学和免疫荧光鉴定。详细阐述了阴道涂片中放线菌的鉴别诊断。介绍了放线菌病的临床病理相关性和组织病理学，并对其治疗进行了讨论。最后，描述并举例说明了与IUD相关的细胞病理学细胞变化。
