The purpose of this study is to identify which types of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) are more frequently
met in females from North-West of Romania and to establish the distribution of HPVs among women,
regarding the age. The cases were collected from Resident Laboratory from Oradea city, Romania in
a time interval between 01.01-31.12.2022. The cases were gathered from the most important regions
of North-West of Romania. According to our results, HPV16 is the most common high-risk type, being
met in more than 1/5th from our cases, the majority of them in women aged between 31 and 40 years
old. Other high-risk HPV types found were 31, 33 and 58. Associations of 2 high-risk HPV types or
associations between one high-risk type and the other one low-risk type were found in 15 cases. The
prevalence of high-risk HPVs has increased among women from North-West region of Romania, so
national HPV screening programme and vaccination need to continue.
