This study was undertaken to investigate the value of HPV testing in women referred with two abnormal smears that were graded as mild dyskaryosis or less who attended for at least three follow-up visits. One hundred forty-nine women were included in the study and a total of 39 high-grade lesions inc
Cervical scrapes collected from 100 consecutive patients participating in a prospective follow-up study for cervical human papillomavirus (HPV) infections were tested for the presence of HPV 11 DNA by the nucleic acid sandwich hybridization method, which allows testing the specimens in a crude form.
A commercial HPV detection test, Hybrid Capture (HC), designed to detect 14 HPV types divided into high-risk and low-risk groups, has been evaluated. A total of 1064 scrapes from 1028 unselected women attending routine cytologic screening were tested and results were compared with those of classic c
