Amaç: Bu çalışmada çoklu HPV DNA pozitifliklerinin servikal yüksek dereceli lezyonlarla veya servikal kanserle ilişkisinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.
Gereçler ve Yöntem: Kadın Hastalıkları ve Doğum Kliniği’nde kolposkopik biyopsi uygulanmış 164 hastanın medikal kayıtları retrospektif olarak analiz edilerek, PAP smear sonucu: (LGSIL - ASCUS - ASC-H)-HPV testi (pozitif) - HPV alt tiplemeleri incelenmiştir. Olgular ; Grup I (negatif, LSIL, koilositoz ve CIN I) ve Grup II (HSIL, CIN II-III, skuamöz karsinom) olmak üzere 2 gruba ayrılmıştır.
Bulgular: Çalışma sonucunda hastaların bazı demografik özellikleri (yaş, parite, menstruasyon durumu), çoklu veya tekli HPV alt tipleri açısından pozitif olma durumları ile kolposkopik biyopsi sonuçları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark saptanmamıştır.
Sonuç: Çoklu HPV enfeksiyonlarının servikal displazi ve kanser üzerindeki etkisini aydınlatmak için daha büyük kohortları içeren çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.

Aims: This study aimed to investigate the association between multiple HPV DNA positivity and the presence of high-grade cervical intraepithelial lesions or cervical cancer.
Methods: The medical records of 164 patients who underwent colposcopic biopsy in the department of obstetrics and gynecology were retrospectively reviewed. PAP smear results (LGSIL, ASCUS, ASC-H), HPV test positivity, and HPV genotypes were evaluated. Based on colposcopic biopsy findings, patients were categorized into two groups: group I: negative, LSIL, koilocytosis, and CIN I; group II: HSIL, CIN II–III, and squamous cell carcinoma.
Results: No statistically significant association was found between the presence of multiple HPV genotypes, single HPV genotype positivity, and colposcopic biopsy outcomes. Additionally, demographic factors such as age, parity, and menstrual status were not associated with high-grade cervical lesion development.
Conclusion: The present study does not provide evidence that multiple HPV infections increase the risk of cervical dysplasia or cervical cancer. Larger, prospective studies are needed to better clarify the clinical impact of multiple HPV infections.
Ethical approval for the study was obtained under project number 2017-597 on 17.08.2017.
