Carpet beetle larval parts in Pap smears: report of two cases
Southern Medical Journal
|July 1, 1994
Abstract:
We describe the cases of two asymptomatic patients who had carpet beetle larval parts in routine cervical Pap smears. The diagnosis was made by finding pathognomonic hastisetae in the smears. The evidence suggests that contamination occurred at or around the time of sampling.
