[Prevalence and genotype distribution of human papillomavirus in patients attending to gynecology polyclinics].

In conclusion, the HPV prevalence and genotype distribution in our study are similar to those reported in the world, but higher than previous studies in our country. These results may be due to our methodology and hospital based nature of our study group. We conclude that only smear or HR-HPV testing are not sufficient as a single pronged screening test, and that the participation of other genotypes of HPV in screening increases the sensitivity.
