title: Hybrid capture II and PapilloCheck® tests for detection of anal high-risk human papillomavirus.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  This study evaluated the level of concordance between hybrid capture II (HCII) and PapilloCheck® for the detection of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) in anal samples.
  
  
  METHODS
  Anal cell samples collected from 42 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)+ patients were analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Considering only the 13 high-risk HPV types that are detectable by both tests, HCII was positive for 52.3% of the samples, and PapilloCheck® was positive for 52.3%. The level of concordance was 80.9% (Kappa = 0.61).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Good concordance was observed between the tests for the detection of high-risk HPV.
