| Summary: | Abstract: Cervical cancer persists as a public health problem worldwide. Among the most studied infectious agents that have been associated with neoplasic processes are viruses, including herpes and papilloma. This research was carried out in order to determine the possible relation between infection with herpes simplex virus (HSV) and human papilloma virus (HPV) and the presence and type of pre-invasive cervical lesions. Sixty-five samples of cervical tissue with lesions and ten apparently healthy controls were selected from female patients for the detection of HSV and HPV. PCR and hybridization (HC2) methods were implemented for genotyping HPV. For HPV, 15.38% were positive while for HSV, 20.0%. There was one case of co-infection in a patient with a high-grade intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), showing a significant difference between HPV-positive patients with HSIL compared to women with LSIL, low grade intraepithelial lesions. Most of the HSV positive cases were detected in patients with LSIL. A significant correlation was proved between the type of lesion and the presence of high and low risk HPV genotypes. Resumen: El Cáncer (Ca) de Cuello Uterino (Cu) persiste como un problema de salud pública a nivel mundial. Entre los agentes infecciosos más estudiados que se han relacionado con los procesos neoplásicos, están los virus, y entre ellos el herpes y el papiloma. Esta investigación se realizó para determinar el Virus Papiloma Humano (VPH) y el Virus Herpes Simple (VHS) y su posible relación con la presencia y tipo de lesiones preinvasivas de Cu. Se seleccionaron 65 muestras de tejido de Cu con lesiones de pacientes de sexo femenino y 10 controles aparentemente sanas, para la detección del VPH y VSH. Se utilizó el método de PCR e Hibridación para la genotipificación del VPH. Se observó un 15,38% de positividad para VPH y un 20% para VSH, un caso de coinfección en una paciente con lesión intraepitelial de alto grado (LIEag), demostrándose una diferencia significativa entre las pacientes VPH positivo con LIEag ... |
