Background: The genotypic distribution of human papillomavirus (HPV) needs to be determined with detail as it is an important issue when comes public health and preparing vaccines since the HPV type may different in various areas. Objectives: This study aimed at reporting frequency types among women Sari north Iran.

Results: swab samples patients warts included 5 (10.0%) 2 high-risk serotypes simultaneous 4% (16, 18), (18, 35), 2% (66, 67), 1 patient (2%) 33, 34, 35, (4%) 66, 67, 68. Conclusions: Since genotype varies diverse areas, these results can used for screening, management, vaccination target population against common virus Sari.
