  abstract = {Objective: To investigate the prevalence of HPV infection and the distribution of HPV subtypes, as well as  cervical dysplasias in Turkey.  Study Design:  Through the years 2006-2008, 2161 women who have admitted to gynecology clinics were evaluated for cervical cytology, demographical characteristics and HPV infection. Results: Considering all the cases, 94,4 % (n=2040) had normal cytology, 3,8 % (n=82) had LSIL and 1,8 % (n=39) had HSIL. In the cytological evaluation, 8,75% (n=189; n=115 HPV(+), n=74 HPV(-)) of the patients were diagnosed as ASCUS. The incidence of HPV positivity was 12,6% (n=272). The most common subtype was HPV type 6 (n=109, 5%) while the incidences of the other subtypes from second most common to least common were as follows; type 18 (n=63, 2,9%), type 16 (n=53, 2,4%), type 11 (n=20, 0,9%), type 45 (n=10, 0,4%), type 52 (n=10, 0,4%), type 59 (n=4, 0,18%) and type 51 (n=3, 0,14%). Among the HPV positive patients, the most common HPV subtype was type 6 (n=109, 40%), and the other subtypes were type 18 (n=63, 23,2%), type 16 (n=53, 19,5%), type 11 (n=20, 7,3%), type 45, 51, 52 and 59. Conclusions:  Eighty-nine percent of the HSIL smears were positive for HPV subtype 16 and/or 18. This suggests that by the use of vaccination programs, a significant amount of precancerous cervical lesions and cancer might be prevented.},
