Prevalence and genotype distribution of cervical human papillomavirus (HPV) among women in urban Tianjin, China

Abstract: To investigate the prevalence and genotype distribution of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection among women in urban Tianjin, China. A cervical cancer screening program for 2,000 women aged 21-65 years old was performed in urban Tianjin from April to October in 2013. The program included ThinPrep cytologic tests (TCT), HPV DNA detection and genotyping using nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) combined with Pyrosequencing technology. Colposcopy examination and biopsy were needed if TCT reported greater or eq… Show more

“…A so‐called “Asia exception” showed a downward trend in infection rates after the age range of 46‐50 years. Some previous studies have suggested that the prevalence of HPV infection is highest in women aged 20‐24 years because of sexual activity, which supports our results for women aged ≤25 years. The characteristics of the age‐specific distribution were similar to those seen in the global and Asian HPV infection trends.…”

“…Given that China covers a vast territory, the prevalence patterns differ regionally, even among different regions of mainland China. For example, different prevalence rankings of HPVs are seen in Beijing with HPVs 16, 58, 33, and 36 and Tianjin with HPVs 16, 58, 18, and 66 (both are part of Northern China); Shanghai with HPVs 52, 16, 58, 53, and 33 (Eastern China); Zhejiang Province with HPVs 16, 58, 18, and 52 (Southern China); Wuhan with HPV 52, followed by HPVs 16, 58, 39, 51, and 53 (Central China), as seen in this study; Yunnan province with geographically and ethnically diverse distribution characteristics (Western China). In sum, these regional differences may be due to variation in the ranking of the prevalence estimates of these HPV genotypes by region.…”
