Abstract
The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of different types of human papillomavirus (HPV) among Ufa residents using the polymerase chain reaction.The work aimed to determine the prevalence rate of different types of human papillomavirus (HPV) among female population of Ufa using polymerase chain reaction.The most common types of viruses in the group of women aged 20-24, were 16, 53 and 51. Among women aged 25-29, 16, 56 and 44 types predominated. Viruses 16,44, 56 and 53 prevailed in the group of 30-34 years. In patients of 34-39 years old, virus types 16, 44, 33 were mainly observed. HPV 16, 51, 33, 56, and 73 prevailed in the 40 -44 years group. Women aged 45-49 years were mainly infected with viruses 16, 52, 56, 73. The most common types of HPV in all groups were 16, 56 and 44.Papillomavirus types 16, 53, 56, 44, 51, 52, 33 and 73 prevail in the female population of Ufa. This result shows that the geno-typic diversity of HPV in the capital of Bashkortostan is similar to various Asian countries. These data should be considered when developing screening and prevention programs.
