Determinación del virus papiloma humano y virus herpes simple y su posible relación con la presencia y tipo de lesiones preinvasivas del cuello uterino

Abstract:

Cervical cancer persists as a public health problem worldwide. Among the most studied infectious agents that have been associated with neoplasic processes are viruses, including herpes and papilloma. This research was carried out in order to determine the possible relation between infection with herpes simplex virus (HSV) and human papilloma virus (HPV) and the presence and type of pre-invasive cervical lesions. Sixty-five samples of cervical tissue with lesions and ten apparently healthy controls were selected from female patients for the detection of HSV and HPV. PCR and hybridization (HC2) methods were implemented for genotyping HPV. For HPV, 15.38% were positive while for HSV, 20.0%. There was one case of co-infection in a patient with a high grade intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), showing a significant difference between HPV-positive patients with HSIL compared to women with LSIL, low grade intraepithelial lesions. Most of the HSV positive cases were detected in patients with LSIL. A significant correlation was proved between the type of lesion and the presence of high and low risk HPV genotypes.
