Introduction.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex disease with variable presentations, course, and prognosis.

The female genital tract may be a potential target organ in SLE since cervical inflammation may be associated with disease activity.

An increase in cervical dysplasia, a precursor of cervical cancer, has been reported in females with SLE.

Aim of the Work.

This work aimed to study the prevalence of abnormal cervicovaginal smears in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and to correlate abnormal smear findings with exposure to infection with human papilloma virus (HPV) in SLE patients.

Patients and Methods.

Thirty-two patients with SLE, fulfilling the 1997 revised criteria for the classification of SLE, were included in this study.

They were subjected to full history taking, clinical examination, laboratory investigations, and cervicovaginal smearing.

Twenty healthy subjects not known to suffer from any rheumatological disease were used as controls, and they were subjected to cervicovaginal smearing.

Results.

Four out of 32 SLE patients showed abnormal Pap smears (12.5%) compared to none showing any cervical changes in the control group (0%).

Among these 4 patients, 3 were having ASCU and one was having LSIL (HPV).

Conclusion.

Cervicovaginal smearing is an easy, economic, safe, repeatable, and noninvasive technique for screening and early detection of cervical neoplastic lesions in SLE.
