“…In general, the women who participated in this study showed poor knowledge of the major symptoms and risk factors of cervical cancer. This result is similar to that reported by many other studies conducted in Arabic countries (El Mhamdi, Bouanene, Mhirsi, Bouden & Soltani, ; El‐Hammasi et al., ; Maaita & Barakat, ; Shaltout et al., ).…”

“…These results suggest that although many of the women know that a link exists between cervical cancer and sex, the mechanism of HPV infection is not understood by most of them (Low et al., ; Waller, McCaffery & Wardle, ,b). A study performed in Egypt found that 32.5% think that cervical cancer is caused by a viral infection, which is near to the 35% recorded in one of our earlier studies (Shaltout et al., ).…”

Cervical cancer is still a public health problem worldwide, and almost 80% of cervical cancer cases occur in developing countries. In Libya, cervical cancer ranks as the third most frequent cancer among women. This paper presents the results of a study conducted to assess women's awareness of the symptoms and risk factors of cervical cancer and to identify socio-demographic variations in their level of awareness. A population-based cross-sectional survey was carried out in the city of Az-Zawiya, Libya from 1 January 2014 to 31 August 2014. A total of 412 adult women of the reproductive age (18-50 years) were selected randomly from the population registry. A face-to-face interview was conducted, using a validated Arabic version of the Cervical Cancer Awareness Measure (CAM) questionnaire. More than 63% of respondents were unable to recall any warning signs and 66.7% were unable to recall any risk factors. Respondents scored considerably higher on recognition rather than on recall for both the warning signs and the risk factors of cervical cancer. Recall and recognition of cervical cancer symptoms and risk factors were higher in women who had a higher level of education and who earned a higher income. However, overall awareness of cervical cancer symptoms and risk factors among women in the city Az-Zawiya in Libya was low. The findings underline the need to improve public awareness of cervical cancer and its prevention by using several health promotion strategies.

“…But, according to these studies in women with normal cervical cytology conducted in Turkey, the cumulative rates of HPV types other than type 16 or type 18 are more common as also shown in our study. Similarly, total hrHPV types other than type 16 and type 18 were more common in the studies from Egypt and Kingdom of Bahrain [16,17]. In a meta-analysis, the HPV types 16 and 18 are most commonly described in pre-neoplastic and cancer cases, although the relative contribution of HPV type 16 and HPV type 18 is substantially lower in cytologically normal women [1].…”

“…Persistent infections with carcinogenic Human papillomavirus (HPV) types are well-recognized causes of cervical cancers. More than 100 different HPV types have been identified, and genotypes 16,18,31,33,34,35,39,45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68 and 70 are associated with the development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2, or 3 and invasive cervical cancer and these genotypes have been classified as high-risk group [2]. Thus, HPV genotype detection is helpful procedure in reducing cervical cancer incidence [3].…”

Objectives: Data on the seroprevalence of Human papillomavirus (HPV) in Turkey are limited. The aim of this study was to characterize the high risk types of HPV in cervical cytology specimens of women in Turkey during routine cervical cancer screening. Methods:Women aged 30 years and older who had been admitted to Tepecik Education and Research Hospital in İzmir province for routine cervical cancer screening between June 2012 and December 2014 were enrolled to the study. Cervical swab samples were collected for HPV-DNA examination. For identifying HPV genotypes, cervical samples were analyzed by Cobas® 4800 HPV Test qualitative real-time PCR system (Roche Molecular Systems Inc., Alameda, CA, USA) for HPV types 16, 18 and the other 12 high risk HPV (hrHPV) types (31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68). Results:In this study, the overall HPV positivity was detected in 10.07% (539/5350 samples) of women during routine cervical cancer screening. Of these; HPV type 16 was detected in 187 samples (31.59%), HPV type 18 in 46 samples (7.77%), and other hrHPV (pool of 12 genotypes) in 359 samples (60.64%), either as single or multiple infections combined. Of 539 HPV positive samples, 489 (90.72%) were single type HPV infections and the remainder (n=50, 9.28%) were multiple type infections. There was no significant difference in HPV prevalence by decades of life. Conclusions:Our results showed that hrHPV types other than type 16 or type 18 are the most detected genotypes in women undergoing routine cervical cancer screening. Data of the heterogeneity in HPV type distribution must be taken into account for the decision of vaccination and screening modalities.

“…For the HPV testing, specimens were analyzed by the HPV Direct Flow Chip system, which is intended for simultaneous detection and genotyping of 36 HPV types (high-risk HPV [16,18,26 , by direct PCR, followed by reverse dot blot automatic hybridization, based on DNA-flow technology and colorimetric detection with the automatic e-BRID R System [13]. The amplification was carried out by PCR from crude-cell extracts, by using the PCR Mix and Phire Hot Start II DNA Polymerase (MAD-003930MU-P-E-30, Master Diagnostica, Granada, Spain).…”

Aim: This study aimed to assess the prevalence and the distribution of HPV genotypes among HIV-negative women of child-bearing age in Lomé, Togo. Materials & methods: From April 2014 to September 2015, a cross-sectional study was conducted among HIV-negative women attending gynecological consultation in six health centers in Lomé. Cervical swabs were obtained from 324 women. HPV test was performed using HPV Direct Flow Chip. Results: The prevalence of any type and oncogenic HPV was 9.3 and 8.3%, respectively. A total of 13 different genotypes HPV, high risk (16, 18, 35, 45, 52, 53, 68, 82) and low risk (6, 40, 43, 44/65, 62/81), were found. Conclusion: Findings from this study provide essential insights for planning future public health strategies, including HPV vaccination programs.

Prevalence and type distribution of human papillomavirus among women older than 18 years in Egypt: a multicenter, observational study

Abstract: The overall prevalence of HPV in Egypt was 10.4% and was highest (9.2%) amongst women aged 45-54 years. These data provide important reference information for public health authorities considering HPV prevention in Egypt.
