[Genital human papillomavirus infections in certain groups of women in the Antwerp region].
Different groups of women, living in the Antwerp region, are examined for the occurrence of genital human papillomavirus (HPV)-infections. To detect these infections, physical examination and DNA-DNA-hybridisation technics (Southern Blotting with the probes of HPV 6, 11, 16 and 18) have been used. Part of these women are also examined colposcopically. The following groups of women have been included in the study: --women who present for cervical cancer screening with their general practitioner after a communal campaign. (HPV detection by physical examination, cytology and hybridisation); --women who present for cervical cancer screening with the mobile team after a communal campaign. (HPV detection by physical and colposcopical examination, by cytology and by hybridisation); --women who are routinely screened for cervical cancer in a gynecological private practice, situated in the same region. (HPV detection by physical examination and hybridisation). Prevalences of HPV infections in these groups will be presented and the detection methods used will be discussed.
