Abstract | The high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) has been known as the most important carcinogen in uterine cervical carcinoma. However, there is limited evidence of the malignant potential of these concurrent multiple infections. This study included women who had undergone cervical conization. They underwent an HPV test by cervical swab within 12 months before the surgery. They were divided into two groups: one with a single infection with HR-HPV16 and the other with concurrent multiple infections with HR-HPVs, including genotype 16. Pathologic examination classified cases as CIS+ to assess and compare the malignant potential in both groups, including carcinoma in situ (CIS) and invasive carcinoma. Of the 220 patients infected with HR-HPV16, the single infection group consisted of 120 patients (54.5%), whereas the concurrent multiple infections consisted of 100 (45.5%) patients. The rates of HSIL were significantly higher in the concurrent multiple infection group. However, the odds ratio for CIS+ did not show a significant difference between both groups (1.417, 95% CI = 0.831–2.414, p = 0.200). The malignant potential was not significantly different between concurrent multiple infections with HR-HPVs, including 16, and a single infection with 16 in Korean women. |
