In order to define the relationship between various criteria of female lower genital tract inflammation, we examined wet smears, cervical smears and biopsies from 131 patients. The presence of clue cells in rehydrated dry smears showed a positive correlation to the presence of clue cells in Papanicolaou stained smears, and to some extent with cytological evidence of inflammation (Kappa 0.48). Cytological inflammatory findings correlated well with the presence of clue cells in rehydrated dry smears, but signs of inflammation diagnosed by histopathology did not correspond to findings in cytological smears, probably because these methods reveal inflammation at different sites.
