A total of 2,252 vaginopancervical (Fast) smears were studied as a continuation of an ongoing program to further investigate the occurrence of amebae in the genital tracts of women using intrauterine devices (IUDs). Of the 947 IUD users, 1% harbored trophic amebae. No amebae, however, were found in any of the 1,164 smears from non-IUD wearers. In all instances the amebae were associated with Actinomyces. Both organisms disappeared promptly after removal of the IUD. In preparations stained according to the Papanicolaou, iron-hematoxylin and Gomori-Wheatley trichrome methods, the amebae could be diagnosed as belonging to the genus Entamoeba. These trophozoites failed to stain with fluorescein-labeled anti-Entamoeba-histolytica serum. Although on the basis of the presently available evidence these trophozoites cannot be assigned with certainty to any known species, they appear to share many morphologic characteristics with Entamoeba gingivalis.
作为一项正在进行的项目的延续，对总共2252份阴道宫颈（快速）涂片进行了研究，该项目旨在进一步调查使用宫内节育器（IUD）的女性生殖道中阿米巴的发生情况。在947名IUD使用者中，1%携带有滋养体阿米巴。然而，在1164名未使用IUD者的涂片中均未发现阿米巴。在所有情况下，阿米巴均与放线菌有关。取出IUD后，这两种生物体均迅速消失。在根据巴氏染色法、铁苏木精染色法和Gomori-Wheatley三色染色法染色的标本中，阿米巴可被诊断为属于内阿米巴属。这些滋养体不能用荧光素标记的抗溶组织内阿米巴血清染色。尽管根据目前可得的证据，这些滋养体不能确定地归属于任何已知物种，但它们似乎与牙龈内阿米巴有许多形态学特征相同。
