They conceded that unavailable data on
ASCUS subclassifications were a limitation, as were unavailable colposcopic and histologic data for some women.
Materials and methods: a cross-sectional study carried out between February 2003 and April 2005 in women attending the Samaritana teaching hospital having a cytological diagnosis of
ASCUS.

25) Our study showed that 34 patients were infected by HSV 2 and 4 were infected by CMV in case of
ASCUS and above out of 252 women.
CIN2 or a more severe histology was found in 75 of the women in the experiemental arm, 54 of whom had
ASCUS or more severe cytology and 73 of whom tested positive for HPV.
There are 3 main types of HPV technology in current use, with only 1 (Hybrid Capture 2 [HC2], Digene, Gaithersburg, MD) approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for triage of
ASCUS cytology and primary screening; HC2 tests for a panel of 13 high- and intermediate-risk HPV types, including 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, and 68.
El test de VPH asociado a la citologia de monocapa para la evaluacion de mujeres con
ASCUS (sigla en ingles que corresponde a atipia epitelial de significado indeterminado) no supera a la citologia convencional.

PWH recommends that the test be used in all its
ASCUS patients to detect high-risk human papillomavirus, the cause of cervical cancer.
The total enrollment target was comprised of 2,000 normal subjects and 1,400 women with atypical, or
ASCUS, Pap test results.

Indeed, the monitoring of
