Conventional Pap smears of 400 patients were stained by Papanicolaou technique and examined cytologically. HPV DNA was detected by in-house PCR . Also HPV positive samples were evaluated for HPV 16 and 18 by same method.
RESULTS: Eleven (2.75%) of 400 women were HPV DNA (+). Two of which were type 16 and 18 and one of which was type 18. Nuclear membrane irregularity, hyperchromatism, koilocytotic cell, vacuolisation and post partum period corralated with HPV infection (p <0.05).
