According to a study from the United States, " We examined the detection rate of high risk human papillomavirus (hr-HPV) DNA in ThinPrep Pap tests with concurrent diagnoses of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) and fungal organisms morphologically consistent with Candida species. Design Gynecologic cytology records were searched to find reports with concurrent diagnoses of both ASCUS and Candida infection."

"Over a 19-month period, 309 cases with reflex hr-HPV tests results were identified. The rate of hr-HPV detection in this group was compared to our laboratory's overall hr-HPV rate for women in general and among 5-year age groupings. There was a significantly higher overall rate of hr-HPV detection in cases of ASCUS with Candida (44.7%, p

The researchers concluded: " Our study shows that the presence of Candida does not exclude hr-HPV and that atypical cytologic features in the presence of Candida should not be entirely attributed to reactive cellular changes, especially in younger women. (Acta Cytol 2009;53:150152)'."
