Résumé
To improve the positive predictive value (PPV) for high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) in primary screening, DNA ploidy was measured on the same liquid-based sample by image cytometry in 984 cases showing discrepancies between cytology and HR-HPV testing. Of the conflicting results, 14.5% corresponded to a cytologic lesion (from atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance to high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion [HSIL]) without HPV detected, and 85.5% of smears were within normal limits but revealed an HR-HPV infection. A suspect DNA profile was associated significantly with a lesion. In 497 patients who underwent repeated HPV testing, a normal DNA profile at the first smear predicted the clearance of HPV infection (sensitivity, 81.5%; specificity, 45.4%; PPV, 69%; negative predictive value, 62.4%). In persistent HR-HPV infection, a suspect DNA profile at the first smear increased the PPVfrom 10.8% to 22.7% for the detection of a histologically proven HSIL with a sensitivity of 95.2%. DNA ploidy can be used to select smears with high risk of HSIL, especially in cases of persistent HR-HPV infection.
