Abstract: Background Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and cervical cancer are leading health problems and causes of death in many parts of the world. There are ~ 200 HPV types that can infect humans. This study aims to understand the spectrum of HPV infections in Nigerian women with normal or abnormal cytology. Methods We screened cervical samples from 90 women with possible HPV infections collected in two regional hospitals in Nigeria. The first screen… Show more

“…They induce hyperproliferative lesions on the hands, feet, and genital and laryngeal areas and seldom advance to high-grade neoplasia and invasive malignancy [4]. Otherwise, HR-HPVs consist of the genotypes 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 51, 56, 58, 59, 68, 73, and 82. It is currently established and well-documented that HPV16 and 18 are the most potent high-risk genotypes, accounting for roughly 70% of all incidences of invasive cervical cancer across the globe [5].…”
