TABLE 2.
Distribution of hrHPV and probably hrHPV types in cervicovaginal self-obtained samples and endocervical brush samples from women who showed hrHPV PCR-EIA positivity in both samples

| Multiple hrHPV infections | 16 | 16 |
a
Frequencies indicated here include presence of types both in single and multiple infections. Values are numbers of samples.
b
HPV67 risk factor is at present unknown. It is classified here as high risk because of homology with alpha-9 HPV types (such as HPV16).
c
HPVX means that the hrHPV cocktail EIA was positive but no signal was obtained with any of the separate probes in the RLB analysis.
