Abstract

Objective: to evaluate the frequency and relationship of human papillomavirus (HPV) with altered vaginal cytology. Method: 319 women aged 25 years or older with altered cytology were selected and submitted to real-time polymerase chain reaction technique. Results: the samples were divided into two groups without and with previous cervical treatment. The frequency of HPV positive was 71% and 47%, respectively. The predominant high-risk HPVs were: 16, 58, 52 and 53. HPV16 and multiple infection were more prevalent between 25 and 35 years of age. High-grade intraepithelial lesions were associated with HPV16 in both groups and HPV53 in the treatment group. Conclusion: the high prevalence of HPV in the samples, the persistence of HPV16, and the association of HPV53 and multiple infections should be considered for genotyping to identify lesions early.
