Abstract:
:Cancer of the cervix is the most common malignant tumor among women in Africa and, in particular, Senegal. Studies of the prevalence of human papilloma virus (HPV) infection in Africa have mainly focused on carcinomas. Data on the presence of the virus in women with normal cervical cytology are scarce. In this study, 158 cytologically normal women who had been referred to the 'Institut Pasteur de Dakar' (Senegal) for various genital complaints were investigated for the presence of HPV on exfoliated cells by PCR-RFLP. HPV was detected in 13.9% of cases. Oncogenic type HPV 16 was the most common type (40.9%), followed by HPV 53 and HPV 58, both detected in 13.6% of cases. Mixed HPV infections were present in 13. 6% of the subjects. Only HPVs belonging to the intermediate-high risk group were detected. These data suggest the need for careful cytological control of patients. A PCR-HPV fragment (GA115) possessing an original RFLP pattern was isolated. After sequencing, it showed a nucleotide homology of 97.1% with HPV 68 and should therefore be considered a new HPV 68 subtype. The use of PCR-RFLP strategy enables detection and typing of all known and as yet unknown genital HPVs. Variant and subtype classification of HPV types identified by oligonucleotide probe methods may need to be refined, especially for less prevalent HPVs and in areas where little information on HPV prevalence is available. More studies are needed to characterize satisfactorily the epidemiology of HPV in Africa.
