Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine the most common HPV types in Bursa and to investigate the consistency of concurrent liquid-based cytology and colposcopic biopsy results regarding these types. In our retrospective study, 407 patients, who underwent cervical smear sampling in our hospital between October 2019 and May 2020, and, who were simultaneously diagnosed with high-risk HPV-DNA genotype by real-time PCR method, were included. In our study, our rate of high-risk HPV was 18%. The most common high-risk HPV type was type 16 (32.5%). Considering smear results, ASC-US was found in 28.5%, LSIL was found in 7.7% and HSIL was found in 3.8% with HPV positivity. In 2 of 5 patients with SIL, biopsy showed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 1 (CINI), and 3 had cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 3 (CIN3). Simultaneous HPV testing with smears increases the sensitivity of the scan and the probability of detecting high-grade lesions.
