| Comments: | Specific HPV genotypes have been shown to be associated with certain anogenital diseases. Types 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, and 68 (high risk groups) are associated with cervical carcinoma and its predisposing lesions, cervical atypia, severe dysplasia, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and carcinoma in situ. Note: A negative result does not rule out the presence of another HPV genotype not in the test panel, nor one of the panel types missed because of low-level infection or specimen sampling error. | ||||||||
| Rejection Criteria: | SurePath vial past expiration date; no specimen collected; unlabeled or mislabeled specimen. | ||||||||
