Prevalence of type‐specific HPV infection in Uruguay

Abstract: The aim of this work was to describe the prevalence of type-specific Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in women attending organized cervical cancer screening program in Uruguay. Nine hundred sixty-five liquid cervical cell samples obtained after collection of cervical smears for cytology were assessed for HPV DNA using the Papillocheck system (Greiner BioOne). The overall prevalence of High-Risk (HR) HPV infections was 20.8% and increased from 16.5% in women with normal cytology to 93.3% in HSIL. Prevalence… Show more

“…Despite being a genotype frequently reported in high‐grade lesions and invasive carcinoma, HPV45 was not common in our cohort of patients. Similar to our results, in a study with a cohort of patients from the national program for cervical cancer prevention in Uruguay and using PapilloCheck ® platform, HPV45 was only reported in 6.6% of patients with HSIL . Therefore, we favor the view that subtle differences across the several studies are probably related to the different population selection method, sampling method but especially due to the severity of lesion present.…”

“…En conjunto HPV 16 y/o 18 fueron el 6.3 % del total de las muestras, El HPV 16 fue el genotipo más frecuente (3.6%). Los autores concluyen que estos datos son de relevancia en relación a la cobertura de las vacunas (87) . Un artículo previo al anterior exploró el perfil de genotipos en tumores invasores de CCU, encontrando la infección por HPV en casi el 93% de las muestras, siendo el perfil de genotipos más frecuentes los siguientes: HPV 16 (67.6%),…”
