ABSTRACT
Cervical cancer is the second cause of mortality from malignant neoplasms in women in our country. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the state of Chihuahua. Material and methods: Observational, transversal, and ambispective. Women in the different regions of the state of Chihuahua between 35 and 64 years of age were screened, obtaining samples for HPV management to detect HPV-16 and HPV-18 genotypes and the high-risk HPV pool. Results: Samples were obtained from 53 municipalities of the State of Chihuahua, adding a total of 2523 samples. A prevalence of 19.5% was found, obtaining 59 cases with HPV-16, 26 with HPV-18, and 363 with a high-risk HPV pool. A positive correlation is shown for the three variables: early sexual initiation (< 18 years), history of multiple sexual partners, and smoking with the risk of having high-risk HPV infection with a relative risk of 1.37, 1.63, and 2.15 respectively. Conclusion: This study demonstrated the high prevalence of high-risk HPV genotypes in the population of the state of Chihuahua.REFERENCES
