✦ Synopsis

BACKGROUND.

The presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA in relation to cervical cytology was evaluated after treatment of cervical dysplasia. METHODS. Forty patients, 22 with normal and 18 with abnormal cytology (mild or moderate dyskaryosis), with a history of cervical dysplasia were selected. Only patients with HPV DNA positive biopsies obtained before treatment were included. The presence of HPV was assessed in cervical smears at least 1 year after treatment of cervical dysplasia by using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with consensus primers (CPI/IIG). HPV typing was done by direct sequence analysis of the CPI/ IIG PCR generated amplimers.
