Altogether 51 regular female consorts of men attending a venereal disease clinic for genital warts were examined using colposcopy, vaginal cytology and--when needed--surgical biopsy. Abnormal cytological smears were found in 18 out of 49 consorts (37%), which should be compared with 8 out of 124 (6%) matched female controls from a family planning clinic (p less than 0.001). Possibly premalignant lesions, i.e. atypical condylomata and/or frank dysplasia, were found in 14 (27%) out of 51 consorts. The prevalence of abnormal smears or biopsy-proven dysplasia was approximately the same in consorts with and without external warts. These findings call for close attention to the risk of development of cervical dysplasia in female consorts of men with genital warts.Downloads
