| Interpretive Data: |
A high-risk HPV test detects HPV genotypes: 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59 and 68, which are associated with cervical cancer and its precursor lesions. However, cross-reactions with other genotypes may occur. Results should be correlated with cytologic/histologic findings. Sensitivity may be affected by cellularity of specimen.
|
| Note: |
A negative result does not rule out the presence of an HPV genotype absent from the test panel, a low level infection, or specimen sampling error.
