Prevalencia de las lesiones intraepiteliales escamosas de bajo y alto grado en mujeres con VPH positivo en el hospital militar durante los últimos 3 años.

Abstract

Introduction: The cervix can be invaded by a number of malignant cells secondary to a Papilloma Virus infection, also cells fail. Cells infected by the virus show morphological, biochemical and behavioral changes. Currently, there are 200 types of human papillomavirus. Genotypes 16 and 18 are considered high-risk oncogenic viruses, since they are frequently associated with premalignant and malignant cervical lesions. Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of low- and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions in patients with positive HPV. This is a retrospective study, where a universe of 76 patients with SIL and HPV infection from the Military Hospital treated in the Gynecology area during the last 3 years were studied. The iodine technique or the Shiler technique was used to detect lesions in the cervix and virus typing was performed using the PCR technique in the laboratory. Results: A total of 76 patients were studied after reviewing 650 medical records who were the ones who visited the clinic during the period from 2021 to 2023, it was possible to find that the average age where low- and high-grade squamous lesions occurred mostly was in the age group between 36 to 41 years of age. Conclusions: It can be concluded that the incidence of low-grade SIL is highercompared to high-grade ones, however in cytology the percentage of high- grade lesions is slightly higher than low grade
