OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence and genotypes of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in Macau women. STUDY DESIGN: Female patients presenting for a medical consultation or medical check-up were recruited with informed consent. METHODS: Cytology and HPV-DNA genotyping were performed on 402 cervical specimens that were collected from Macau women. RESULTS: Of the specimens, 29.9% were found to be HPV-DNA positive; 26.4% were infected with one HPV genotype, while 3.0% and 0.5% were infected with two and three HPV genotypes, respectively. The most prevalent HPV genotype was type 52 (11.1%), followed by type 16 (9.7%). Both types 51 and 62 ranked third (9.0%). CONCLUSIONS: The HPV infection rate in Macau appears to be higher than that in the neighbouring city of Hong Kong. The most prevalent genotypes were similar to those in South-west and Southern China.
