Abstract: Descritores Resumo ObjetivoVerificar a associação entre fatores epidemiológicos e infecção genital pelo papilomavírus humano (HPV). Métodos Realizou-se estudo transversal com 975 mulheres atendidas em um serviço público de rastreamento para o câncer cervical, em Porto Alegre, Brasil. As mulheres foram consideradas infectadas pelo HPV quando apresentaram o teste de DNA positivo para esse vírus, tanto pelo método de captura híbrida II (CH II) como pelo método de reação em cadeia da polimerase (PCR). Mulheres inf… Show more

“…This result is, therefore, amongst the highest HPV prevalence values observed in Brazil to date and likely reflects the use of nested-PCR assays for data gathering, a method that has a higher analytical sensitivity compared with other HPV DNA detection strategies (Lipmann et al, 2010;Coser et al, 2011). Our HPV prevalence finding was also slightly higher than those previously found in populations within in the State of Rio Grande do Sul by PCR and hybrid capture analysis (Nonnenmacher et al, 2002;Rosa et al, 2008).…”

“…The worldwide prevalence in women with normal cytology is approximately 10% (de Sanjosé et al, 2007), whereas in women with abnormal cytology it is approximately 35% (Molijn et al, 2005). Studies conducted in several cities and states revealed a prevalence of HPV infection between 24.8 and 35.0% in Brazil (Nonnenmacher et al, 2002;Fernandes et al, 2008;Krambeck et al, 2008;Lippmann et al, 2010;Oliveira et al, 2010).…”

“…The prevalence rate found in this study was similar to that reported in the same region (19.5%) by Lorenzato et al (28) in Recife, and higher compared to the prevalence rate observed in other regions of southeastern (17.0%) (23) and southern Brazil (16.0%) (29), in which PCR-based assays using the consensus primer MY09/11 were also used for the detection of viral DNA.…”

“…It can lead to a variety of benign, premalignant and malignant lesions in the mucosa and cutaneous tissues 1 . Genital HPV infection is one of the most frequent sexually transmitted diseases 2,3 . In a high prevalence context, infectivity and diagnosis are made by examining the clinical, subclinical and asymptomatic lesions; the dissemination of HPV is universal among the sexually active population, where men are an important means for the proliferation of the virus [1][2][3][4] .…”

It is estimated that 15 to 40% of the world's population is contaminated with HPV 5,6 ; furthermore, more than 500,000 new cases occur worldwide every year.…”
