Abstract

Cytologic evaluation of the uterus involves the collection and interpretation of cells lining the uterus (endometrium) and within the uterine lumen. Endometrial cytology is a rapid, inexpensive technique to detect the presence of endometritis in a mare. Typically a swab or a brush is used to obtain a uterine cytology sample of the mare. This chapter discusses step by step procedure for performing the cytologic evaluation on the sample. It discusses precautions, and lists equipment and supplies, for performing the evaluation. The chapter also discusses the evaluation of uterine epithelial cells, debris, white blood cells (WBCs), red blood cells (RBCs) and bacteria of the sample.
