genotypes and sequence variants of human papillomavirus dnas from human immunodeficiency virus type 1-infected women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.	human papillomavirus (hpv) dna was found in cervicovaginal lavage fluids from 9 of 11 human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (hiv-1)-seropositive female prostitutes with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (cin) in kinshasa, zaire. since 7 yielded complex nucleic acid hybridization results consistent with mixed hpv infections, limited sequencing of hpv dna was used to identify the hpvs present. three of hpv 16 and 1 each of hpv 18, 31, 33, and 56 and me180-hpv were identified by sequencing in 8 samp ...	1992	1331247
genital types of papillomavirus in children of women with hiv-1 infection in kinshasa, zaire.	increasing evidence indicates that infection with genital types of human papillomavirus (hpv) can occur prior to the onset of sexual activity, possibly by perinatal transmission. evidence is also accumulating that women infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) more frequently express hpv. we conducted this study to measure hpv prevalence in hiv-seropositive and -seronegative women in kinshasa, zaire and in their children. we collected cervico-vaginal lavage specimens from 80 mothers ...	1993	8387461
[human papillomavirus genotype profile in kinshasa, democratic republic of the congo: implications for vaccination].	proposed anti-human papillomavirus (hpv) vaccines, i.e., cervarix (glaxomith-kline) and gardasil (merck), are designed to prevent infection by two high-risk hpv types, i.e., 16 and 18, for which estimation mainly in western europe and north america have demonstrated a prevalence 60 to 70%.	2008	19639831
prevalence and determinants of high-risk human papillomavirus infection in women from a sub-saharan african community.	background:: human papillomavirus infection with high-risk types (hr-hpv) is a necessary cause of cervical cancer, the most common malignancy among sub-saharan african women. little is known about prevalence of cervical hr-hpv infection in this region. methods:: a cross-sectional study of 1528 women examined the determinants of hr-hpv infection among women in kinshasa, democratic republic of congo. information was collected on sociodemographic, reproductive, lifestyle characteristics, and health ...	2010	21150817
Comparison of human papillomavirus testing and cytology for cervical cancer screening in a primary health care setting in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.	OBJECTIVES: We compared the screening performance of conventional Pap cytology and two human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA assays, the original Hybrid Capture 2 (HC2) and an expanded version that tests for 4 additional HPV types (HC2+4; Qiagen Corporation), in the detection of cervical neoplasia among unscreened women in a primary care setting in a suburb of Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. METHODS: All women 30years or older residing in the area were invited to participate, and 1528 were ...	2011	22062546
