[Infection by human papilloma virus amongst female inmates in a social re-adaptation centre in South-West Mexico]. / Infección por el Virus del Papiloma Humano en mujeres recluidas en Centros de Readaptación Social en el sureste de México.

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this work is describe the epidemiology of HVP amongst female inmates. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 82 women were studied in a cross sectional study. Epidemiological data were collected through a direct interview. Samples of cervical cells were taken. HPV and genotypes were identified by molecular test. RESULTS: Global HPV prevalence was 20.7%. Fifteen different genotypes were identified 60% low risk HPV, 26.7% high risk HPV and 13.3% were not classified in any of the two groups. Types 6/11 were the most common. 23.5% (04/17) of HPV positives samples had multiple infections, 3 with 2 genotypes and one with 3. Association between infection with HPV and smoking was found, p= 0.0258, OR 3.79 IC 95% (1.01-15.58).

Introducción: El objetivo de este trabajo es describir la epidemiología de la infección por virus del papiloma humano (VPH) en un grupo de mujeres privadas de su libertad en el estado de Yucatán, México. Material y método: Se realizó un estudio de corte transversal en el cual se incluyeron a 82 mujeres. Se recolectaron datos epidemiológicos a través de una entrevista directa utilizando un cuestionario estructurado y se tomó muestras de células cervicales. La infección por VPH y los genotipos fueron identificados por técnicas de biología molecular. Resultados: La prevalencia global de VPH fue de 20,7%. Quince diferentes genotipos se identificaron; 60% de bajo riesgo, 26,7% de alto riesgo 13,3% no están clasificados en ninguno de los dos grupos. El genotipo VPH 6/11 fue el más común. El 23,5% (04/17) de las muestras positivas tuvieron infecciones múltiples, tres con dos genotipos, y una con tres. Se encontró asociación entre la infección por VPH y tabaquismo p= 0.0258, OR 3.79 IC 95%(1.01-15.58)(AU)
