Article Synopsis
- Leishmaniasis is emerging in Thailand, with only about 20 clinically confirmed cases, suggesting a potentially high prevalence that could include many undetected infections, especially in immunocompromised individuals.
- The research identified a new species, Leishmania (Mundinia) orientalis, from a biopsy of a patient in Nan Province and provided a formal description which replaces the previously invalid species "Leishmania siamensis."
- Currently, three species causing leishmaniasis have been recognized in Thailand: L. martiniquensis, L. orientalis, and L. infantum, paving the way for further epidemiological studies.
Objective: To compare the cytomorphologic quality of the cervical (Pap) smears between two fixation techniques, rehydration of air-dried smears (AD) versus wet fixation (WF).
Material And Method: Paired-cervical smears (AD and WF) from 172 women who underwent cervical cytology screening at Chiang Mai University Hospital between August 2004 and September 2004 were prospectively evaluated for the cytologic parameters and the staining qualities.
Results: The mean age of the 172 women was 41.
