Overview

Cross-sectional analysis identifies HPV in 18.45% of healthy women with normal cytology, suggesting HPV screening may enhance cervical cancer prevention.

Key Points

  • HPV DNA was found in 18.45% of samples despite normal Pap smear results, indicating potential undetected infections.
  • Out of 271 samples, 50 tested positive for HPV, with types 6 and 18 identified among others.
  • Cytological examinations revealed inflammation but no abnormalities alongside HPV positivity findings.
  • The study highlights the need for adoption of PCR testing to complement Pap smears for cervical cancer risk assessment.
