Prevalence of Human Papillomavirus in 5,072 Consecutive Cervical SurePath Samples Evaluated with the Roche Cobas HPV Real-Time PCR Assay
New commercially available Human Papillomavirus (HPV) assays need to be evaluated in a variety of cervical screening settings. Cobas HPV Test (cobas) is a real-time PCR-based assay allowing for separate detection of HPV genotypes 16 and 18 and a bulk of 12 other high-risk genotypes. The aim of the present study, Horizon, was to assess the prevalence of high-risk HPV infections in an area with a...
متن کاملAn audit of liquid-based cervical cytology screening samples (ThinPrep and SurePath) reported as glandular neoplasia.
OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to assess the number of cases diagnosed as glandular neoplasia (national report code 6) of cervical (6A) and non-cervical (6B) types on ThinPrep (TP) and SurePath (SP) liquid-based cytology (LBC) samples and to calculate the positive predictive value (PPV) of these diagnoses for significant glandular and/or squamous pathology for local audit and as a contr...

متن کاملEffect of endocervical-specimen adequacy on detection of Chlamydia trachomatis by the APTIMA COMBO 2 assay.
Six hundred one endocervical specimens were analyzed for Chlamydia trachomatis by the APTIMA Combo 2 assay and evaluated for columnar epithelial cell adequacy by direct fluorescent-antibody staining. With 5.5% positive adequate and 7.8% positive inadequate specimens (P=0.27), the study suggested no difference in positivity rates due to specimen adequacy when this amplified technology was used.
