Redetection of human papillomavirus type 16 infections of the cervix in mid-adult life

Abstract: PurposeTo assess whether HPV 16 originally detected in adolescent women can be redetected in adulthood.MethodsA convenience sample of 27 adult women with known HPV 16 detection during adolescence was assessed for HPV 16 redetection. A comparison of the long control region (LCR) DNA sequences was performed on some of the original and redetected HPV 16 isolates.ResultsMedian age at reenrollment was 27.5 years (interquartile range of 26.7–29.6). Reenrollment occurred six years on average after the original HPV 16… Show more

“…Our study is limited by the modest number of women enrolled. This study is also limited by the lack of serological data, which could potentially identify women who have been infected in the past with specific HPV types but have a negative PCR assay, due to a HPV infection that is below the limit of detection [33].…”

“…A negative result at the HPV testing repeat occurred after more than 12 months and about 10 months in Italy and The Netherlands, respectively, usually reflects true viral clearance (and, being time‐dependent, is less frequent in The Netherlands than in Italy), but it may also reflect a latent infection with low viral load (i.e. below the detection limit of the assay) . Persistence of HPV infection is deemed necessary for the development of high‐grade lesions and cancer, whereas transient and newly detected infections entail a lower risk and require a longer time to induce CIN 2+ .…”

“…According to estimates, approximately 80% of sexually active women will acquire the infection in their lifetime, and in the majority of cases (>90%), it will be a transient, asymptomatic infection cleared by the immune system in six months to two years [17,18,19]. Only after a persistent infection can HPV lead to low- and/or high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), which may eventually evolve to cervical cancer [17,20,21]. However, not all HPV types have been linked to cervical cancer.…”
