Cervical dysplasia and condylomata acuminata in young women

A retrospective investigation compared the medical records of 56 young women with abnormal Pap smears with the medical records of 60 women who comprised the control group to determine if there is a relationship between cervical dysplasia in young women and a history of condylomata acuminata. A statistically significant link between condylomata acuminata and cervical dysplasia was shown. Implications for nurses are discussed.
