Human papilloma virus (HPV) is a well-established cause of cervical cancer. While many studies have been performed so far on HPV viral biology, mode of infection and prevention measures, scanty information is available on lesion sites of infected women and the incidence of viral types at specific locations. We looked for a pos.. Read More»

Molecular analysis and conventional cytology: association between HPV and bacterial vaginosis in the cervical abnormalities of a Brazilian population
Authors: A.L. Peres, J.R.S.L. Camarotti, M. Cartaxo, N. Alencar, R.C. Stocco, W. Be�§ak, N.T. Pontes-Filho, R.F.F. Ara�ºjo, J.L. Lima-Filho and D.B.G. Martins2
We investigated the association between bacterial vaginosis (BV) and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in Papanicolaou smears in a Brazilian population. Cross-sectional analysis was performed on 673 samples collected from women attending public health centers in Olinda (PE, Brazil) by conventionalcytology methodology and molecular analysis, PCR tests (..

Expression of human papillomavirus E6 and E7 oncoprotein mRNA in women with low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions or less
Authors: D.C. Casagrande, J.C.L. Ribalta, K.D.P.F. Leite, M. Schimidt and N.M.D.G. Speck
We verified the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) E6/E7 protein mRNA expression in patients with low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSILs) and negative cervicovaginal cytology. To investigate the relationship between mRNA expression and viral infection type, we assessed genotyping in single infections. Samples from 825 women were submitted.. Read More»

Evaluation of novel assays for the detection of human papilloma virus in self-collected samples for cervical cancer screening
Authors: Q. Chen, H. Du, R. Zhang, J.H. Zhao, Q.C. Hu, C. Wang, G.X. Wang, J.L. Tang and R.F. Wu
The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of three new high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) assays for primary cervical cancer screening, by using self-collected samples, and to identify an HPV assay that could overcome the major obstacles faced during large-scale population-based screening. Two hundred and ten wom.. Read More»

Prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV), distribution of HPV types, and risk factors for infection in HPV-positive women
Authors: M.V.C. Santos Filho, A.P.A.D. Gurgel, C.D.P. Lobo, A.C.F. Freitas, J.C. Silva-Neto and L.A.F. Silva
The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV), the distribution of different HPV types, and the putative risk factors for infection among HPV-positive women from the State of Alagoas, Northeast Brazil. We analyzed data from 515 patients attending public and private health centers. HPV DNA f.. Read More»
