Utilidad de la detección del virus del papiloma humano de alto riesgo mediante Hybrid Capture II® en mujeres con citologías anormales del cuello uterino

The Hybrid Capture II™ test can be useful for the management of women with cytological evidence of ASCUS because of the low prevalence of HR-HPV infection and the high negative predictive value for HG-SIL. The usefulness in women with a cytological diagnosis of LG-SIL is limited due to the high prevalence of HR-HPV infection. High viral load can be a risk factor for the development of premalignant cervical lesions.
