[Relationship of Human Papillomavirus Subtypes and Multiple Infection with Different Cervical Precancerous Diseases in Sichuan Province].

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship of human papillomavirus (HPV) subtypes and multiple infections with different cervical precancerous diseases. METHODS: Retrospective study was done to review 1 226 patients with different cervical lesions who were pathologically diagnosed and scanned for HPV 23 subtypes with positive results from June 2006 to May 2012. These patients were divided into the following groups, chronic cervicitis, cervical condyloma, cervical intraepithelium neoplasia grade I (CIN I), grade II (CIN II), grade III (CINIII). RESULTS: There were significant differences in the proportion of HPV low risk types and high risk types between cervicitis, condyloma, CIN I group and CIN II + III groups (P<0. 05). HPV low risk types in condyloma group were mainly 6 and 11 subtype, while the other four groups were 42 and 43 subtype. The four most prevalence high risk types were 58, 16, 52,18 subtype. The infection rates of HPV16 were significant different in cervicitis (11. 0%), CIN II (20. 3%), and CIN III (20. 2%)(P<0. 01), and the infection rates of HPV58 was quite different between cervicitis (15. 9%) and CIN II (21. 4%) (P<0. 05). HPV multiple infection rate in condyloma (68. 8%) was significant different from that of cervicitis (23. 1%), CINI (26. 1%), CIN II (27. 8%) and CIN III (27. 1%) (P<0. 01); while the rest four groups were not significantly different (P>0. 05). CONCLUSION: There is a unique epidemiologic characteristic of HPV infection in Sichuan Province. The HPV low risk types were mainly 42 and 43, and high risk types were mainly 58, 16, 52, 18. It seems that HPV multiple infection is not the leading cause of progression of cervical disease.
