Low prevalence of high risk human papillomavirus in normal oral mucosa by hybrid capture 2

Abstract: High risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) are recognized as a necessary factor to development cervical cancer. During the last decade many studies have found HR-HPV in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and normal oral mucosa, however the association between HR-HPV and OSCC is still uncertain. The aim of the study was to determine DNA HR-HPV in normal oral cavity of healthy adults. A cross-sectional study was performed; samples from 77 patients with normal oral cavity were collected at the Dentistry school, Aut… Show more

“…With respect to the other genotypes, the most frequent was the low risk HPV6, identified by sequencing, which was identified in 6 women. High risk genotypes (16, 58, 59 and/or 18) were found in 1.8% of the study population which is lower than what has been reported by other authors ( Smith et al , 2004 ; Turner et al , 2011 ) but similar to our previous study of a group of odontology patients using High Risk Hybrid Capture 2 ( Gonzalez-Losa et al , 2008 ) and higher than a large study conducted in the USA by Gillison (2012) .…”

“…We estimated the presence of HPV infection to be at least 20% in patient cases and less than 2% in control subjects. 7 , 8 The study was an unmatched design. The control-to-case ratio for each cancer site was 2:1.…”

“…It reported 65% of individuals to be positive for HPV16/18. [ 17 ] Western literature reports a low prevalence of HPV infection (<10%) in normal oral mucosa[ 18 19 20 21 22 ] There is not enough evidence to clearly establish the role of latent HPV infection of the oral cavity in normal individuals in the development of cancer. Western literature indicated an association between HR sexual behavior (oral sex and number of sexual partners) and HNSCC.…”
