Predominant HPV Types From Cervical Swabs Determined by Molecular DNA Testing in a Period From 2018-2021 in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Background: Human papillomavirus is a sexually transmitted infection and it is estimated that 75% of all women have been exposed to HPV infection in a certain period of life. High-risk types of HPV are considered to be one of the major causes of cervical cancer and its precursor intraepithelial neoplasia.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the degree of HPV infections and to provide more data on HPV genotype distribution among women in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H).
