ABSTRACT

Aims Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is known as one of the causes of anogenital ‎cancers, including cervix cancer. The inability of viral culture‏ ‏has made the initial ‎detection of HPV difficult. Therefore, molecular methods are the best way to ‎identify, and among these methods, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) ‎amplification methods are very useful and accurate in diagnosis. The aim of this ‎study was to investigate the presence of HPV in Iranian patients and the ‎relationship between the type of virus (high risk and low risk) and cervical ‎lesions by molecular methods based on PCR virus samples.‎
Materials & Methods The present study was conducted on 67 biopsy and Liquid base cytological ‎samples including cervical Liquid cytology and cervical tissue biopsy. The ‎cytological diagnostic test and pathological examination were performed and the ‎DNA was extracted and then, DNA typing was conducted by PCR using primers ‎MY09/MY11, specific for capsid gene.‎
Findings Out of 67 patients, 2 cases (3.0%) were not infected with HPV, while cervical ‎cytology was symptomatic. Seven cases had no symptoms in the cervical ‎epithelial cells, which were virtually positive for the virus, and the rest also had ‎both viral and clinical symptoms. Most of the samples (52.2%) were infected ‎with high-risk viruses and, most of them were HPV16.‎
Conclusion HPV can be the main responsible for the cervical cells changes, that has the ability ‎to become cancerous. Also, in most cases, the main cause of the infection is high-‎risk type of the virus. The most prevalent type of HPV that infected cervical ‎epithelial cells is HPV16.‎
