Prevalence of various Human Papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes among women who subjected to routine Pap smear test in Bushehr city (South west of Iran)2008-2009

Abstract: BackgroundSome genotypes of human papillomaviruses can infect the genital tract and they are important infectious agents which their oncogenicity is regardable. Thus the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of various genital human papillomaviruses (HPV) among women being subjected to routine pap smear test in Bushehr city of Iran.ResultsBased on the collected data, 11(5.5%) samples were detected positive for HPV DNA and 189(94.5%) samples out of 200 samples were detected negative for HPV DNA.

“…However, this result was a relatively high report, which is consistent with the previous surveys done in Asian countries (22,23). The prevalence of HPV strains is different in various geographical parts of Iran (5.5 to 60%), although our statistical result was higher than the maximum of this range (22,24,25). Based on the study of Khorasanizadeh, the mortality to incidence ratio was 42% in Iran (26).…”

“…By now, various studies were conducted to evaluate the prevalence of HPV infection in different parts of Iran, and most of them have reported high prevalence of HPV among studied groups (Nadji et al, 2007;Safaei et al, 2010;Zandi et al, 2010). So we need basic and fundamental works to decrease this preventable disease.…”

“…The prevalence of positive HPV findings was 5.5%; high-risk HPV human papillomavirus Type 16 prevalence was 2% and no HPV-18 was reported. The prevalence of HPV was 4.5% in younger age group and gradually increased to 20% in next decade (Zandi et al, 2010;Shahramian et al, 2011). For HPV genotyping in Iran in 2011, patients with cervical neoplastic and invasive carcinomas were examined by real-time PCR and subsequently PCR products were sequenced.…”

“…HPV prevalence in the general population was 7.8% (95% confidence interval: 6.0-9.8) (5.1% of high-risk types), with no significant variation by age. HPV16/18 accounted for 30 and 82.2% of HPV-positive women in the general population and ICC, respectively (Zandi et al, 2010).…”
