Outcomes of women with positive oncogenic HPV and reflex cytology showing possible high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion.

Aim: To examine outcomes in women following cervical screening detection of oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV), with reflex cytology showing possible high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (pHSIL).

Materials And Methods: A retrospective observational study of 523 women seen in the Royal Women's Hospital Colposcopy Clinic from 1 January 2018 to 31 July 2020.

Background: Risk of pelvic inflammatory disease associated with and is increased after termination of pregnancy (TOP) and may be increased after insertion of intrauterine devices (IUDs). Screening prior to these procedures is recommended only for . We examined and prevalence and associated factors among women presenting to a pregnancy termination and contraception service over 10 years.

Long-term trends of Chlamydia trachomatis in a clinic population at the Royal Women's Hospital, Melbourne.

Background: Chlamydia trachomatis (C. trachomatis) prevalence has been reported to be increasing. Whether this is a true increase over time or confounded by increases in testing and/or use of more sensitive assays is to be determined.

Asymptomatic Mycoplasma genitalium infection amongst marginalised young people accessing a youth health service in Melbourne.

We conducted a study to establish the prevalence of Mycoplasma genitalium amongst asymptomatic young people experiencing homelessness in the context of comprehensive health care delivery. All asymptomatic young people at risk of sexually transmitted infections were offered urinary polymerase chain reaction testing for M. genitalium whilst being tested for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae over a four-month period in 2012.

Measurement of T-cell-derived antigen binding molecules and immunoglobulin G specific to Candida albicans mannan in sera of patients with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis.

Immunoglobulin G (IgG) and T-cell-derived antigen binding molecules (TABM) specific to whole Candida extract and to Candida-derived mannans prepared by both the cetryltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and alkaline degradation (PEAT) methods were measured in the sera of women with vulvovaginal candidiasis and controls. In the patients there were significantly higher levels of IgG to both CTAB and PEAT mannans and of TABM to CTAB mannan. TABM specific to CTAB mannan was purified from the serum of a patient with a high titer of this TABM.
