Prevalence of human papillomavirus genotypes in cytologic abnormalities from unvaccinated women living in north-western Spain

Abstract: Cervical cancer and its precursors low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL) and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) are associated with infection by human papillomavirus (HPV), in particular HPV 16 and 18. The distribution of the HPV genotype varies with the severity of cervical disease, age and the geographic location of the patients. We report the results of a population study carried out in a region of north-western (NW) Spain aimed at determining the prevalence of single and multipl… Show more

“…The presence of co-infection was more frequent in LSIL cases (45%), followed ASCUS (36%) and NC (25%), whereas a decreased frequency of co-infection was found in HSILs (20%). Similar to other Spanish studies [15,26], in our series, ASCUS/LSILs were associated with co-infections, whereas HSILs were associated with single infection (p < 0.01). It is still not clear whether co-infection with several types increases the risk of progression.…”

“…Therefore, obtaining a solid knowledge of genotype HPV distribution is becoming imperative. Multiple types of HPV have been described in up to 50% of NC and LSIL cases in the population in Northwest Spain [15], in accordance with other studies [30]. …”

“…Our results fall within this range. This prevalence of multiple HPV infection is higher than found in other studies conducted in Spain in which the values range between 4.7% and 52.1% [6,29,30,34,36,38,57]. Furthermore, in a study of patients with abnormal cytology obtained a higher value (58.1%) [35] than found in this study.…”

“…In this study, HPV-51 (7.8%), -52 (5.2%) and -66 (2.6%) were detected. These viral types appear to be common in the Spanish population [6,18,[35][36][37][38], and these HPV specific-genotypes were also detected in studies around the world. The proportions detected in these studies are diverse, being as high as 17.5%, 12.0%, and 8.1% respectively [35], while in other study [38] found similar rates to those of our study: 8.0%, 3.8%, and 7.1%, respectively.…”
