Cervical cytology reported HPV with or Without dyskaryosis in 57.5% of cases, while cotpics colposcopy was sensitive in only 58.4%. The reliability of diagnosis increased to 75.4% when the two methods were used in conjunction. We recommend another more, sensitive methods for detection of cervical human papilloma virus
