Prevalencia de los genotipos del virus del papiloma humano en mujeres de 25 a 65 años -SOLCA. Cuenca 2017 –2018

Abstract

BACKGROUNDThe infection caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) has a high incidence and prevalence in sexually active women. It's generally temporary, usually infected women eliminate the virus after two years, but since there are some factors related to persistence of the virus in the cells, it can develop cervical cancer. Since the disease develops slowly, detection at early stages has made it possible to reveal the presence of the virus in cells before it can transform and become tumorigenic.OBJECTIVEToestablish the prevalence of Human Papilloma Virus genotypes in women between 25and 65 yearsold -SOLCA.Cuenca2017 -2018.METHODOLOGYIt is a descriptive, retrospective study, in which information was collectedfrom the medical and physical records of the Molecular Biology Laboratory and SOLCA-Cuenca Medical System, SOFTCASE, to establish the prevalence of HPV during the period 2017-2018.RESULTSThe results obtained show that the prevalence of HPV in 2017 was54.55% and 2018 corresponds to 16.83%. According to the risk group, 58.1% belonged to high-risk HPV, low-risk HPV 8.72%, and probable low-risk HPV with 33.25%. The genotypes with the highest frequency were: HPV-16 in 30.5%, HPV-58 in 15.9%; HPV-6 in 54.1%, HPV-81 in 24.3%; HPV-71 in 44.7%, HPV-40 in 11.3% respectively. The age group with the highest prevalence ranges in women between 36 and 40 years old with 18.40%.CONCLUSIONSThe present study evidenced that the majority of women had some type of HPV, the most prevalent are high-risk genotypes in patients from the SOLCA-Cuenca Cancer Institute
