ABSTRACT
Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common worldwide sexually transmitted with a prevalence of 2.0 to 44.0%, the persistence of high-risk virus (HR-HPV) is a determining factor in the development of cervical cancer. In pregnant women the prevalence is 5-68%.Objective: To determine the prevalence of genotypes of human papillomavirus high risk in pregnant patients at the Regional Hospital "Lic. Adolfo López Mateos " ISSSTE.
Material and Methods: We performed a transversal, observational and descriptive study which included 61 pregnant patients who presented to the hospital obstetrics. To which were performed cervical cytology, colposcopy and genotyping of human papillomavirus high risk. PCR samples were processed with the Cobas 4800 system.
Results: Of the 61 patients studied, 18 (29.51%) were positive pregnant Virus High Risk Human Papillomavirus (HRHPV) corresponding to a prevalence of 29.50%. 2 patients (11%) were HPV-16 and 16 patients (89%) the panel or "pool" of other high-risk virus containing genotypes 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66 and 68. The average age of the patients positive for HR-HPV was 26.4 years. The 55.5% of the HR-HPV positive patients were in the first quarter of gestation. Of the 61 patients included in the study, 9 patients (14.75%) had abnormal cytology and of these 7 were positive for HR-HPV (78%).
Conclusion: HR-HPV prevalence in pregnant women is high. The most prevalent genotype in our population is the subgroup ("pool") of 12 genotypes which are associated with a lower risk of cervical cancer with respect to types 16 and 18. It is necessary to encourage timely detection during pregnancy because it is a great opportunity to detect it early alteration.
