ABSTRACT. We studied human papillomavirus (HPV) prevalence and genotype distribution among women in the Henan Province to provide epidemiological data as a means of preventing cervical cancer and developing a vaccine. A total of 14,873 samples were genotyped by using polymerase chain reaction reverse dot-blot. The overall HPVpositive rate in the sample was 23.98% (3566/14873), of which 69.01% (2461/3566) were infected with high-risk HPV types and 17.33% (618/3566) with low-risk types. Eighteen high-risk HPV types were detected; HPV 16 (16.73%) was the most common, followed by 58 (10.17%), 52 (9.11%), 56 (6.48%), 66 (5.76%), 33 (4.74%), 68 (3.92%), 31 (3.60%), 53 (3.13%), 59 (3.00%), 35 (2.53%), 51 (2.00%), 73 (1.08%), 45 (0.94%), 83 (0.84%), 39 (0.69%), 18 (0.61%), and MM4 (0.04%). Four low-risk HPV types were detected; HPV 43 (11.34%) was the most common, followed by 6 (5.17%), 42 (4.76%), and 11 (3.35%). 5452-5461 (2015) tions, of which 20.11% (717/3566) had double HPV infections. One peak in HPV prevalence occurred among women younger than age 25; a second peak occurred among women older than age 55. The overall prevalence of HPV infection in the Henan Province was 23.98%, of which the most common type was high-risk HPV and a single type of infection. The leading genotypes were HPV 16, 43, 58, 52, and 56.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
