ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the significance of high-risk human papilloma virus ( HR-HPV) detection by hybrid capture 2 (Hc-2) in managing the women with atypical squamous cell of undetermined significance (ASCIIS) and low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) of thin prep liquid-based cytology (TCT). Methods One hundred and seventy-eight women with ASCUS and 108 women with LSIL were studied. The infection of HR-HPV in the women was analyzed. And sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were used to evaluate the significance of HR-HPV detection by Hc-2 in managing the women with ASCUS and LSIL of TCT. Results Sensitivity,specificity, PPV and NPV of HR-HPV DNA detection by Hc-2 in screening CIN II or above in ASCUS were 89.83% (53/59),53.78% (64/119), 49.07% (53/108), 91.43% (64/70) respectively,and in LSIL were 97.62%(41/42),22.73%(15/66), 44.57%(41/92), 93.75%( 15/16) respectively. Conclusion HR-HPV detection by Hc-2 is an effective measure in managing the women with ASCUS and LSIL of TCT.
