Certain genotypes of human papillomavirus (HPV) are linked to cervical abnormalities. HPV DNA and genotype prevalence among women residing in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia is investigated in this hospital-based study.
Cervical specimens were taken from 519 subjects along with consent and demographic data. DNA was extracted and PCR was performed on all specimens using general primers. Low- and high-risk HPV genotypes were determined by reverse blot hybridization assay using specific probes. SPSS version 17 was used for the data analysis.
Of 519 cervical specimens, 164 (31.6%) were positive for HPV DNA. There was a significant association between HPV positivity and abnormal cytology (p < 0.00001). Even though the HPV positivity was relatively high, the squamous intraepithelial lesions were minimal, with one low grade and one high grade case among those HPV DNA-positive specimens. Regardless of single or multiple infections per specimen, HPV-16 was found in 87.8%, followed by HPV-18 in 86%, and HPV-11 in 78.3%.
Amplification technology showed that HPV is common among women in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with a strong association between HPV infection and cytological changes. HPV-16 was the most frequent genotype but had a low prevalence of cervical cancer.
某些人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)基因型与宫颈异常有关。在这项基于医院的研究中,对居住在沙特阿拉伯利雅得的女性进行了HPV DNA和基因型患病率调查。
在征得同意并收集人口统计学数据的情况下,从519名受试者中采集宫颈样本。提取DNA,并使用通用引物对所有样本进行聚合酶链反应(PCR)。使用特异性探针通过反向斑点杂交试验确定低风险和高风险HPV基因型。使用SPSS 17版进行数据分析。
在519份宫颈样本中,164份(31.6%)HPV DNA呈阳性。HPV阳性与细胞学异常之间存在显著关联(p < 0.00001)。尽管HPV阳性率相对较高,但鳞状上皮内病变极少,在那些HPV DNA阳性样本中仅有1例低级别和例高级别病例。无论每个样本是单一感染还是多重感染,HPV-16的检出率为87.8%,其次是HPV-18,为86%,HPV-11为78.3%。
扩增技术显示,HPV在沙特阿拉伯利雅得的女性中很常见,HPV感染与细胞学变化之间存在密切关联。HPV-16是最常见的基因型,但宫颈癌患病率较低。
