  1. aThe PCR data obtained with GP5+/GP6+, HPV10, HPV16, HPV18, HPV20, HPV22, HPV23 and HPV45 primers were not included in the table since no positive cases were detected.
  2. bPositive sign indicates that HPV was detected in any of previous columns in the table.
  3. cThe HPV type was determined by direct DNA sequence of the PCR product.
  4. NA=not available.
