    Abstract:
    In a large laboratory for cytology PAP-smears from 98221 teenagers and young women aged 15-25 years old (5,2% of the complete material) were examined from 1967-1980. Positive PAP-smears (PAP III D, IV a/b and V) were found in 627 of all cases (0,63%). In the group of young women (15-25 years) positive PAP-smears increased from the first to the following 7 years. In a group of women aged more than 25 years, positive results decreased. The so-called juvenile dysplasia (PAP III D, 487 of all cases) must not be treated, controls in short intervals (3-4 months) are necessary. The results of this paper point out that young women should undergo routine check-ups from the age of 18.
