ABSTRACT

Aims Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main cause of cervical cancer and the second ‎cause of cancer mortality among women. Molecular epidemiologic evidence ‎clearly demonstrated that certain types of HPV play a major role in the ‎development of cervical cancer. The objective of this study was to genotype the ‎human papillomavirus in cervical liquid-based cytology specimens.‎
Materials & Methods This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 42 liquid-based cytology ‎specimens from women (25-50 years old) referred to the laboratory of Sarem ‎women’s hospital during one year from 2013 to 2014. Those HPV infections were ‎confirmed by pathological and molecular methods. Polymerase chain reaction ‎‎(PCR) and hybridization methods were used to determine the genotypes.‎
Findings Out of the 42 tested samples, 27 cases (64%) belonged to HPV high-risk group ‎that included the types of 16, 18, 31, 33, 56, 58 and 66. Among those 27 samples, ‎‎14 (52%) had a combination of infections and 70.4% of the samples showed ‎infection with types 16 and 18.‎
Conclusion Various types of HPV can be detected in liquid-based cytology specimens and the ‎most common type is HPV16. Simultaneous infections with multiple types of HPV ‎are common in liquid-based cytology specimens of positive women.‎
