Study of Human Papillomavirus infection in the state of Guaira, Venezuela
Keywords:
Infection, Detection, Human Papillomavirus (HPV), CervixAbstract
This study aims to contribute to the national data, through HPV screening through molecular biology tests and compares its effectiveness with respect to the Pap smear. 119 female patients were included, from whom the corresponding samples were taken for molecular HPV detection and cytological evaluation of the cervix. After the quality evaluation, 2 patients were excluded for not meeting the criteria, leaving 116 samples included for the study. DNA isolation as well as HPV detection and typing were performed with the commercial kits Wizard Genomic DNA Purification Kit (Promega®) and Seeplex HPV4A ACE (Seegene, Korea) respectively following the specifications from the commercial companies. The average age of the patients was 39.39 ± 13.255, with respect to the cytological diagnosis it could be observed that moderate non-specific inflammation was the most frequent diagnosis (28.4%) followed by mild non-specific inflammation (23 ,3%); LIEbg were reported in 8.6% of the cases evaluated. 30% of the patients tested positive for HPV infection, with HR genotypes being the most frequent (80%) followed by co-infection of genotype 16 with other HR (11.4%). A relationship was observed between the inflammatory cytological diagnosis and viral infection, which is why follow-up of this group of women is suggested since this is associated with progression towards LIEbg and subsequent development of cervical cancer.
