title: [Prevalence of human papillomavirus infections in our five-year data].
abstract: Human papillomavirus infection proved to be the most important risk factor for the development of cervical cancer and its preblastomatosis. Human papillomavirus was detected from 1996. June to 2000. September at 1635 patients, who had been positive by colposcopy and/or cytology in an earlier examination. The place of the study were our outpatients' departments and consultations by specialists of Debrecen University, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Hybrid capture system was used to demonstrate the presence of the virus and managed to prove it in the 28.9% of cases. 3.1% of the patients (51 persons) had acquired low-risk, and 23.6% (386 persons) high risk virus types, however 2.1% of the woman (35 patients) were infected with both low-risk and high-risk human papillomavirus types at the same time. Long time decrease of virus prevalence was observed after the age of 35 year, and the significant degree and timing decrease of after the age of 30 year at patients infected with combination of low-risk and high-risk virus types, respectively. This observation is indicative of the correlation between colposcopic-, cytologic abnormalities and the persisting high-risk human papillomavirus infections.
