Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
From the report of your PAP smear findings, the following things can be concluded.
1. The report does not indicate malignancy.
2. Since numerous neutophils are seen, it indicates there is an acute bacterial infection on.
3. Since Candida species is present along with inflammatory changes, it indicates fungal infection to be present along.
Hence, it could be stated that there is a mixed infection.
Kindly consult Gynecologist with the report for appropriate management.
All the best.
