Human papillomavirus viral load in predicting high-grade CIN in women with cervical smears showing only atypical squamous cells or low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion

Abstract: The viral load of high-risk HPV types was significantly associated with the diagnosis of CIN2 or CIN3 in women referred because of atypical squamous cells and LSIL abnormalities in their cervical smear.

“…[13][14][15][16][17][18] The presence of high-risk HPV viral load may also be important in predicting highgrade CIN among women with atypical squamous cells or LSIL in their cervical smears. 19 In the presence of high-risk HPV subtypes, cytological abnormalities may be present in up to 44% of HIV-infected women. 20 In the present study, the HIV-infected women had their first sexual intercourse at an earlier age, a higher number of sexual partners and a higher prevalence of STDs.…”

“…Antiretroviral treatment reduces the risk of recurrence of cervical lesions, probably by restoring or preserving immune function. 19,20 Levi et al observed that 31% of the patients with fewer than 200 cells/ µl had abnormal cervical smears, in contrast with 13% of those with counts higher than 200 cells/µl. 5 In the present study, no relationship was observed between immunosuppression and lesion severity.…”

“…Deve ser tomado cuidado com a possibilidade de quadros de latência levarem a falsos positivos e, portanto, sobrediagnóstico. A possibilidade de diferença entre a carga viral e o diagnóstico da lesão tem sido estabelecida em vários estudos 6,7,8,10,12,13,15,18,22 , embora contestados por outros 23,24 . De fato, o "cutoff" que permite uma melhor performance do teste no diagnóstico de HSIL tem sido bastante variável.…”

“…Assim, hoje se sabe que o tipo 16 é o mais prevalente em todo o mundo 1 , independentemente da gravidade da lesão escamosa, e, de maneira geral, os HPV identificados como de alto risco estão presentes em mulheres imunocompetentes em cerca de 20% dos quadros histológicos negativos, em 70% dosUNIOR UNIOR*, P *, P *, P *, P *, PAULO AULO AULO AULO AULO C C C C CÉSAR ÉSAR ÉSAR ÉSAR ÉSAR G G G G GIRALDO IRALDO Vários pesquisadores defendem a idéia de que a alta carga viral de HPV de alto risco teria uma importante relação com lesões intraepiteliais escamosas e sua maior gravidade 6,7,8,10,12,15,18,22 . Outros pesquisadores enfatizam a importância da persistência da alta carga viral por longo tempo, e não simplesmente uma medida isolada, assim como só teria valor a alta carga viral do HPV tipo 16, sem considerar os demais tipos 2,3,9,13,14,16,17 .…”
