Abstract
To estimate the prevalence of high risk types of HPV infection in women attending colposcopy clinic in a public hospital in Chennai, South India. This was a cross sectional study. Consenting women who were attending the Gynecology Out Patient Department (OPD) and who were referred to the Colposcopy with high risk complaints were enrolled into the study. Cervical samples were taken for testing HPV types 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 45, 52 and 58. There were a total of 55 women, aged between 24 to 60 years. High risk group women (n=12) were those women who were HIV Positive, women on steroid therapy and those who had Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN). 15 women (27%) were positive for HPV. Three women belonged to high risk group and five women had cancer cervix and the rest had chronic cervicitis. A total of 40 women were negative for HPV tests. Six women were HIV positive and two women were already treated for CIN2. Three women had CIN2 and One HIV positive woman had CIN3. HPV tests were negative in women with high grade lesions. All women with cancer tested positive for high risk HPV types. More studies should be done to evaluate the risk of various types of HPV in causing cancer.
