Spontaneous clearance of high risk human papillomavirus infection / 中华妇产科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the clearance of high risk human papillomavirus(HPV)infection among the women with normal cervical pathologic diagnosis.Methods One hundred and seventy.two HPV-positive cases with normal cervical pathologic diagnosis were enrolled in the study.The infection status of HPV was monitored during follow-up from Aug 2006 to Aug 2008.The time of HPV infection spontaneous clearance,as well as effect factors,were analyzed.Results During follow-up,there were 62.2%(107 cases,107/172) of the HPV infection cleared.The medium clearance time was 11.3 months(95% CI10.6-16.6 months).The medium clearance time of aged<30 years,30-39 years,40-49 years and>49 years were 11.3,12.0,10.9 and 8.5 months.respectively.There were not significant difference among aged intervals (P=0.384).The virus copies of HPV-clearance cases and persistent-infection were 22.6 and 95.0,respectively.There was not significant difference between groups(P=0.061).Conclusions Most of the high risk HPV infection with normal cervical pathologic diagnosis would spontaneously cleared.Age and HPV copies may play little role in the HPV clearance.
