✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was applied for the detection of human papilloma virus (HPV) infection, in samples obtained from the uterine cervices of 202 asymptomatic women with normal cytology in Northern Greece. About 41.8% of the women with microscopically and cytologically normal cervices were found to be infected with HPV. Typing of HPV revealed that 6.9% and 1.5% of the women were infected with HPV16 and HPV18, respectively. Β© 1994 Wiiey‐Liss, Inc.

The aim of the study was to compare the accuracy of self-administered vaginal tampon (VT) specimens for the detection of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) with that of cervicovaginal lavage specimens (CVL). Two hundred seventy-four paired VT and CVL specimens were collected prospectively from women at r
