Title: Detection and genotyping of cervical HPV with simultaneous cervical cytology in Turkish women: a hospital-based study. Author: Yuce K, Pinar A, Salman MC, Alp A, Sayal B, Dogan S, Hascelik G. Journal: Arch Gynecol Obstet; 2012 Jul; 286(1):203-8. PubMed ID: 22395863. Abstract: PURPOSE: To investigate the prevalence of cervical human papilloma virus (HPV) with genotyping and simultaneous cervical cytology among Turkish women in a university hospital. A review of literature was done as well to summarize the results of similar Turkish studies based on hospital data. METHODS: Women who were subjected to cervical HPV-DNA testing with simultaneous cervical Pap test were included. Seeplex HPV 18-plex Genotyping Test was used for HPV detection and typing. Liquid-based cytology was used for Pap test and Bethesda system was used for results. RESULTS: Study group included 890 patients with a mean age of 39.5 years. The prevalence of any HPV was 25.7% while high-risk HPV was positive in 23.0%. There were no significant differences in HPV prevalence between younger and older women. Among HPV-positive women, 89.5% had at least one type of high-risk HPV. Most common HPV was type 16 followed by type 31 and 51. Abnormal cervical cytology rate was 11.6%. Rate of HPV positivity was significantly higher in women with abnormal cervical cytology compared to women with normal cytology (54.4 vs. 22.0%). CONCLUSIONS: Cervical HPV infection is a serious and gradually growing problem for Turkish women according to hospital-based data. This may be associated with low age at marriage and more sensitive HPV detection methods.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
