Prevalence and Distribution of HPV Genotypes in Immunosuppressed Patients in Lorraine Region.

Background: The primary objective of this work was to assess the prevalence and distribution of HPV genotypes in immunosuppressed patients, and to compare them with the French Monsonego cohort. Secondary objectives were to evaluate whether the risk of HPV infection was correlated with HIV viral load, CD4 cell count in HIV-infected patients and the type, number of immunosuppressive therapies or type of pathology (transplant vs. autoimmune diseases) in patients undergoing long-term immunosuppressive therapy.
