Distribution patterns of human papillomavirus genotypes among women in Guangzhou, China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cervical cancer is associated with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection in the world. We aimed to evaluate the status of HPV infection among women in Guangzhou, China.

Methods

The study recruited 28,643 female patients from the Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center for HPV genotype testing between 2019 and 2021.

Results

5668 patients were infected with HPV, resulting in an overall infection prevalence of 19.78%. The prevalence of HR-HPV was recorded at 13.94% (both single-infections and multi-infections), probably high-risk HPV/possibly carcinogenic (pHR-HPV) as 3.51%; and low-risk HPV (LR-HPV) as 3.56%. The most common HR-HPV genotype detected was HPV-52 with an infection rate of 4.99%, followed by HPV 58 (2.18%), 16 (2.12%), 51 (1.61%
