Abstract

    We investigated the genotypes of HPV and the smear
results of patients in the Eastern Black Sea region of Turkey. Four hundred
four patients who were HPV-positive were analyzed; 278 (68.81%) patients had a
single infection, and 126 (31.2%) had multiple infections. Three hundred
seventy-eight (93.6%) of patients were HR-HPV positive. There was no
significant correlation between multiple HPV infection and HR-HPV frequency
with age. The most common HPV genotypes were 16, 18, 31, 51, and 35,
respectively. The smear results of 345 patients were obtained and we found no
correlation between smear abnormalities and multiple HPV infections. In
conclusion, the most common HPV subtypes in the Rize region were HPV type 16, 18,
31, and 51 and regardless of whether HPV 16 and/or 18 were included, multiple
HPV infections were not associated with abnormal cytology results.
