Abstract

This study investigated the frequency of colposcopy cases with abnormal biopsy in people with positive HPV type 16 and 18 infection who were referred to the specialized clinic of Imam Khomeini Hospital in Ahvaz between 2018 and 2020. According to the studied population, the sampling in this study was cross-sectional from 2018 to 2020. The number of all HPV 16 and 18 positive patients was checked during this period, which is 100, and the cases of abnormal colposcopy and biopsy samples with positive HPV 16 and 18 equal 19 people.

According to the results of the present study, the average age of people infected with HPV16, HPV18, and HPV16&18 virus was 35.72±8.49, 37.20±10.63, and 33.44±6.18, respectively. There is no significant relationship between age and type of HPV virus. The average menarche age in people infected with HPV16, HPV18, and HPV16&18 virus was 12.94±0.92, 12.80±0.77, and 13±1.03, respectively. Analysis of variance did not show a significant relationship between the age of menarche and the type of HPV virus. In addition, there is a significant relationship between HPV type and biopsy findings. According to the results of the present study, the prevalence of the HPV16 virus was higher in the studied subjects, and the most common biopsy finding observed among these subjects was CIN1. Smoking has been an influential factor in increasing the rate of HPV infection‎.
