Abstract
|
|
|
The case histories of 204 patients attending the Colposcopy clinic between l st Sept. and 31 st Dec. 1988 were reviewed in order to assess the incidence of human Papilloma Virus (H.P.V.) infection and possible associated factors. The incidence
was
inversely proportional to age and the average age of those with HPV infection was 35 yrs whereas those in whom the sole lesion was cervical intra epithelial neoplasia (C.I.N.) was 42.2 yrs. No statistical relationship was found to gravidity and
parity.
The overall incidence of HPV infection was 44.7% and in those in whom the histopathology was chronic cervicitis was 39.5%, dysplasia was 73.0% and C.I.S. was 31.3%. Review of a subset of patients in whom the original examination had been done
before the
entity was recognised led to a change in diagnosis in 4 of 10 patients originally diagnosed as C.I.N.
The results show a definite association of HPV infection with C.I.N. and a cause of possible misdiagnosis if the entity is not recognised.
