          Abstract

          Infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (hr-HPV) 16, 18, and 45 causes 94% of cervical carcinoma. In the present screening center the authors perform the hr-HPV test followed by Pap test to women aged 35-64 years if they result hr-HPV+. The authors' aimed to provide data regarding the genotyping test and eventually to propose this test as alternative to triage cytology. They used a genotyping test to identify HPV 16, 18, and 45 in 22 women with histological diagnosis of CIN2+, 22 women with histological diagnosis of CIN1 and 22 women hr-HPV+/Pap-. The group of CIN2+ showed the higher positivity to the test and the higher positivity to HPV 16 than other groups. Analyzing the clinical performance of the genotyping test the authors observed that the specificity was 64%. From these data they concluded that the identification of HPV 16 is predictive for high-grade lesions but this test could not be used alternatively to triage cytology.
