The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of abnormal cervical cytology findings and the occurrence of HPV infection among 167 infertile women eligible for IVF/ET. Cervical smears analyzed for abnormal cytology findings and cytologically determined HPV infections were retrospectively studied. Furthermore, pregnancy rates among those women were established. The incidence of abnormal cervical cytology findings amounted to 19.1%. Among all abnormal cervical cytology findings, 75% referred to LSIL, and 25% to HSIL. In total 50% of patients with diagnosed LSIL were HPV positive. The pregnancy rate in this group was 29.1%. Among patients with diagnosed HSIL, 75% were HPV positive with none achieved pregnancy. Patients with LSIL have more favorable IVF treatment outcome in comparison with patients with HSIL.
