[Correlation of clinical and virologic diagnosis of cervical infection with human papillomaviruses].
The presented investigation is concerned with contemporary diagnostic possibilities of HPV Infection of the Cervix. The authors present the results of virological examinations of 228 female patients in the Centre for Oncological Prevention. The examination was made by hybridization techniques, using probes specific for HPV 6, 11, 16 and 18 and by serological methods where IgG antibodies were assessed against synthetic peptides, corresponding to several HPV epitopes, as antigens. 156 women (68.4%) were virologically positive, 72 (31.6%) were negative. Subsequently the authors investigated the diagnostic accuracy of HPV changes of the cervix by clinical methods, i.e. colposcopy and cytology, as compared with virological methods. On colposcopic examination uncertain--i.e. insignificant--results were recorded in 24.6%, on cytological examination in 19.7%. In patients where these methods gave unequivocal results (either + or-) a correct forecast of the presence of HPV during colposcopic examination was recorded in 71.1%, in cytological examinations in 66.9%. At least one of the clinical methods assessing papilloma virus infection was prognostically correct in 90.4%. From the investigation ensures that prebioptic methods provide the clinician with relatively reliable information on the presence of HPV infection and enable him to select a therapeutic and dispensarization procedure adequate to the finding. However, they cannot replace virological examination among other reasons also because they cannot assess the HPV type.
