What does neutrophilic infiltrate with bacilli in a pap smear test indicate?
Patient: Hi My GF's pap smear test result under Microscopic Description says   ''Back ground shround shows red blood cells and moderate to marked neutrophilic inflitrate with bacili.  Pls explain what does it mean and if any treatment required or not.  She has doen this as part of normall check up. Doctor: Welcome to H.C.M. I ma Dr Krishna Dubey.This is very common finding seen in PAP smear. It suggests Inflammatory smear.It means that you will need full antibiotic course like (Cefixime 200mg twice a day for  five days)  then repeat PAP smear after antibiotic course.You did not tell your age so i expect that you will tell you age next time.Thanx for your query.
