Abstract
The most widely recognized high-risk HPV types (HR-HPV) are 16 and 18, which are involved in 70% of cervical lesions. The prevalence of this pathology has been reduced thanks to the implementation of screening since the 1970s. However, in underdeveloped countries, there are still many problems to implement the correct screening in the whole population. Objectives: To describe the prevalence of HPV genotypes from 315 cervical smears collected from 2010 to 2020, and to analyze the cytological correlation between the different pathologies. Materials and methods: Cytology was performed according to Bethesda 2010. HPV genotyping was performed. Results: Genotyping: High risk (HR): 117; Low risk (LR): 76; Detectable: 47; Undetectable: 44; Possible high risk: 26; Unknown: 6. Prevalence: HPV 16 (34), 6 (28), 11 (21), 58 (20), 53 (17), 33 (12), 66 (11), 31 (11), 54 (7), and 61-62-81 (6). A total of 160 of 316 could be diagnosed: 31 had HR-HPV and 34 had HR-HPV without visible lesion; 23 inflammatory had HR-HPV 12 and HR-HPV 11; 46 had low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), with 21 LR, and 25 HR; 11 had high-grade squamous lesion (HSIL), with 7 HR; 14 had undetermined significance (ASCUS) with 7 HR. Conclusion: Higher prevalence of HR-HPV was observed, with predominance of HPV 16, 58, 33, 66, 31, 45 and 56. HPV 18 did not present high frequency. Cytological specimens without visible lesions, inflammatory, LSIL, and HR-HPV warrant follow-up, and cytology is important because of the limitations of genotypic information alone.
