Human papillomavirus infection in Brazilian women with normal cervical cytology

Abstract: ABSTRACT. We examined the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in a sample of Brazilian women presenting normal cervical cytology. Possible interactions between patient characteristics and HPV infection were analyzed in order to provide background data to improve cervical cancer screening and prophylaxis. Cervical samples of 399 women, received for routine evaluation in the Health Department of Ouro Preto, MG, Brazil, were subjected to HPV-DNA testing by PCR with MY09/11 primers. HPV-positive spe… Show more

“…Most of these earlier studies involved women who previously presented with abnormal cervical cytology results and were consequently seeking health service for disease screening or treatment (Ayres and Silva, 2010). The few studies on HPV infection prevalence in healthy female populations (as determined by cervical cytology) revealed an overall prevalence ranging from 11 to 35% (Lipmann et al, 2010;Miranda et al, 2012). The results of the present study identified a HPV infection prevalence of 34% in women attending a public health service in Cruz Alta.…”

“…A aquisição do vírus ocorre após o início da vida sexual e decai com a idade, principalmente após 30-35 anos, seja pelo clearance do vírus, mudança nos hábitos sexuais ou imunidade adquirida naturalmente pelas infecções prévias 27 . Foi também observado que as mulheres mais jovens apresentavam significativamente maior frequência da infecção por múltiplos genótipos do que as na faixa etária acima dos 30 anos, similar a outros estudos 17 . A infecção por múltiplos genótipos ganhou importância com o advento da vacina contra infecção pelo HPV.…”
