Diagn Cytopathol. 1991;7(6):625-7. doi: 10.1002/dc.2840070616.

Abstract

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) cytologic changes were found in a routine cervical smear of a 21-yr-old HIV-negative woman, 4 wk post partum. The CMV changes were associated with columnar cervical epithelium. The case is reported because of the rarity of such an occurrence in cervical smears.
