A Pilot Study on the HPV Type Frequency in a Federal High-Specialty Hospital of Mexico City: Is HPV16 Our Main Problem?

Abstract

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection worldwide and a necessary condition for cervical cancer (CeCa) development. HPV types 16 and 18 are the most common in cervical lesions (CLs); therefore, specific vaccines have reduced cervical neoplasia. In 2015, HPV16 presented the highest frequency in CLs (~28%); however, types 31, 45, 52, and 58 were also detected, suggesting that other HPV types may have impact on healthcare. Here, we typified 30 patients with CLs from the "Hospital Regional 1°de Octubre" (HR1O), in Mexico City, for the most reported high-risk papillomavirus (HPV16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 58, and 59). The results showed that HPV16 frequency is dissimilar to international and previous national data, suggesting that a deeper knowledge of HPV type distribution is required before choosing a vaccination scheme for HPV in Mexico City.

New Quantitative PCR Technology for Screening Human Papillomavirus Test – Identification of 25 Genotypes: A Molecular Epidemiology and Cross- Sectional Study

“…Similarly, Aziz H, et al reported in a population of Punjab, Pakistan than HPV-6 was the most frequent HPV-genotype found in 25% of infected women, however, the prevalence observed in our population was lower (13.2%) [18]. Even more, HPV-16, -58, -59, and -31 genotypes were the most common HR-genotypes in patients with cervical lesions, while, types HPV-6, 61, and 53 were the most common LR-genotypes in the same group of patients (similar to a previously published study) [19]. Contrary to the results reported by Jácome Galarza, et al [20].…”

“…Copy@ Thompson Bonilla María del Rocío location analysed and determinants of health associated [17,19,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. It is well established than co-infection among HPV-genotypes is common in women, and men [17].…”
