Synchronous anal HPV Infection in Patients with HPV-Related Gynaecological Diseases: A Prospective Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Patients with human papillomavirus-related gynaecological diseases (HPV-RGD) are at risk of synchronous HPV infections in other regions, including the anal canal. The primary objective of this work was to examine the prevalence of anal HPV in patients treated for HPV-RGD. Secondary objectives were to test HPV type distribution and the risk of anal infection depending on the HPV-RGD localization.

Methods

A prospective study was conducted with two groups: the research group, histologically confirmed HPV-RGD, and the control group, gynaecological diseases not related to HPV (all human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) negative). The swabs for HPV genotyping and liquid cytology (Anyplex II HPV HR Detection test) were collected from the anal canal (both groups) and the ar
