Clue Cells and Pseudo Clue Cells in Different Morphotypes of Bacterial Vaginosis [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
IntroductionClue cells (epithelial cells heavily covered with adherent bacteria) are an accepted clue to the diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis. However, the exact morphologic criteria of clue cells and bacterial adherence were never elaborated.Materials ...

CA-YOLO: An Efficient YOLO-Based Algorithm with Context-Awareness and Attention Mechanism for Clue Cell Detection in Fluorescence Microscopy Images [PDF]

Sensors
Automatic detection of clue cells is crucial for rapid diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis (BV), but existing algorithms suffer from low sensitivity. This is because clue cells are highly similar to normal epithelial cells in terms of macroscopic size and ...

Clue Cells on Vaginal Wet Preparation Are Not Associated with Urinary Tract Infections or Positive Urine Cultures [PDF]

Western Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2022
Introduction: Clue cells result from aberrant vaginal microflora and are associated with an increased vaginal pH, which can allow colonization of uropathogens in the vaginal introitus, increasing the risk for urinary tract infections (UTI).

Giant cell lesions of the oral cavity

SRM Journal of Research in Dental Sciences, 2021
Giant cells are formed by the union of several monocytes or macrophages which undergo a defined set of intercellular interactions that ultimately results in a multinucleated cell with a single cytoplasmic compartment. Giant cells are not only pathologic,

Relationship between nugent score and vaginal epithelial exfoliation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Clue cells characteristic of bacterial vaginosis (BV) are thought to arise due to exfoliation of the vaginal epithelium; however, there is little published data connecting total numbers of epithelial cells to markers of BV.
