FRECUENCIA DE VIRUS DEL PAPILOMA HUMANO Y FACTORES ASOCIADOS EN PACIENTES DE 18 A 35 AÑOS EN EL INSTITUTO NACIONAL DE FERTILIDAD Y REPRODUCCIÓN ASISTIDA DURANTE EL PERIODO DE AGOSTO 2015 A FEBRERO 2016

Abstract

Background: Scientific research over the last 25 years has shown that cervical cancer is a disease caused by the Human Papilloma virus. The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) reports that according to epidemiological data on HPV is responsible for 100% of cases of cervical cancer, 90% of anal cancers, 40% of cases of cancer of external genital organs (vulva, vagina and penis) and at least 12% of cases of oropharyngeal cancer. Objective: To determine the frequency of infection by Human Papilloma Virus on patients of 18 to 35 years at the National Institute of Fertility and Assisted Reproduction during the period August 2015 to February 2016. Methodology: A cross-sectional study. A total of 149 patients who underwent Pap tests at the National Institute of Fertility and Assisted Reproduction during the period August 2015 to February 2016. We collected information about all participants from data base of INFRA. We included patients aged 18 to 35 years who have HPV typing test results and complete medical records. Results: Of the total number of patients treated at the INFRA during the set period, 149 patients are carriers of the Human Papillomavirus, representing 22.8% of the total population. But in this group of patients only 5 are carriers of high-risk HPV that represent 3.3% of the total population. Conclusions: We can say that out of 100 women, 22 patients are carriers of HPV. For every 10 women 2.2. are infected with HPV. We must consider the high prevalence of HPV infection in our country and try to take preventive and early detection of the virus.
