Urinary tract infections are responsible for most human infections, these are caused by bacteria, fungi, protozoa and associated microorganisms. The goal of this study was to determine the rate of vaginal infection-causing agents in routine cytological exams and also to evaluate the characteristics of positive tested Pap smears. A retrospective documental with descriptive aspect research was performed in a Clinical Pathology laboratory from Maceió-AL. The results of the Pap smears exams for Trichomonas vaginalis, Gardnerella vaginalis, Candida spp and HPV were arranged in a database as well as other data such as bacterial, protozoan, fungal and viral coinfections. The sample was composed by 18.645 women who have undergone Pap smear exams from 2013 to 2017. Of these analyzed exams, 27.4% in 2013, 10.9% in 2014, 10.6% in 2015, 15.2% in 2016 and 13.67% in 2017 were within normal range, however more than half of these exams presented some infections caused by unspecific or microbiological agents. By analyzing all the reports, 4.073 (21.84%) presented inflammations caused by some species of infectious agent with the following rate order: G. vaginalis and T. vaginalis. Furthermore, it was possible to confirm high rates of coinfection by and Candida spp. The rate of genital infections in this study highlights that there is a public health matter that must be controlled, which points a greater need for monitoring, guidance and actions towards greater awareness in order to prevent these problems.

R e s u m oOs prolapsos de vagina, cervix e útero são responsáveis por grandes perdas econômicas e desequilíbrio na eficiência reprodutiva de bovinos de leite e corte (BARTOLOMEU et al 1997;MARQUES et al 1991). Pandit et al. (1982) citou que, a maioria dos animais tratados, com reposição mecânica dos órgãos e sutura de vulva, se tornaram estéreis após prolapso vaginal/ uterino, mostrando cervicites crônicas, com índice de reincidência da afecção em 34,88% dos animais. As causas dos prolapsos, em todas as suas variações, permanecem de certo modo indefinidas, não se conhece as causas exatas.
