Prevalence of multiple HPV infections according to cytological grade of dyskaryosis and age
| Multiple HPV infection | Total single HR-HPV +ve | Total multiple HR-HPV +ve | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Values are numbers of samples and percentages in parenthesis. Mutiple HPV infection, sample tested positive for >1 HPV type by LA assay. Total single HR-HPV +ve, sample tested positive for a single HR-HPV infection, either alone or with other LR-HPV types present. Total multiple HR-HPV +ve, samples tested positive for >1 HR-HPV type (sample could have contained LR-HPV types also). | |||
| HPV, human papillomavirus; HR, high risk; LA, linear array; LR, low risk; U/S, unsatisfactory. | |||
