Abstract

Filter in situ hybridization, using separate probes for human papillomavirus deoxyribonucleic acid types 6, 11, 16 and 18, was used to determine the prevailing HPV types amongst a group of pregnant Chinese women. This group had been previously identified using a mixture of probes for HPV types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 35 (Virapap). Specimens from six of the eleven cases contained one HPV type (55%) while five were positive for two types (45%). The "low-risk" types (HBV6, 11) were identified as frequently as the "high-risk" types (HPV16, 18) in this study.
