Prevalence and distribution of human papillomavirus findings in swab specimens from gynaecology clinics of the east coast of Spain

Abstract: The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) among females in the east coast of Spain. A total of 1956 women visiting gynaecology clinics for routine check-ups were included in the study. Swabs were analyzed for HPV DNA by consensus polymerase chain reaction followed by direct sequencing. The overall HPV prevalence was 12.99%. HPV vaccine types 6, 11, 16 and 18 were detected in 6.13% of female participants.

“…In Spain, crude prevalence rates for HPV infection in small, specific populations or in limited geographical areas have been previously reported to range from 3% to 17% [17][18][19][20]. In a study to provide specific information for Spain in 1,043 histologically confirmed invasive cervical cancer cases from six regions, 904 of these cases (89.1%) were HPV DNA positive [5].…”

“…The prevalence of HPV infection found in the present study was higher than that observed in Spanish data published previously. Crude prevalence rates for HPV infection in small, specific populations or in limited geographical areas were reported previously to range from 3% to 17% [Muñoz et al, 1996; de Sanjosé et al, 2003; González et al, 2006; Bernal et al, 2008; Martorell et al, 2010].…”

“…HPV 16 has been identified consistently as the most common high‐risk HPV type. Other high‐risk HPVs detected frequently include types 51 and 31 [de Sanjosé et al, 2003; Ronco et al, 2005; Ammatuna et al, 2008; Agarossi et al, 2009; Agorastos et al, 2009; Giorgi Rossi et al, 2010; Martorell et al, 2010].…”
