- Pap (Papanicolaou) screening with normal cervical cells (NILM).
- Atypical squamous cervical cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US).
- Atypical squamous cervical cells could not be excluded a high-grade squamous intraepithelial cervical lesion (ASC-H).
- Low-grade squamous intraepithelial cervical lesions (LSIL).
- *Multiple HPV infections without high- risk HPV (HR-HPV) involvement (i.e. low-risk-LR and/or undetermined-risk HPV).
- **Multiple HPV infections with HR-HPV involvement (i.e. HR and/or undetermined-risk and/or LR-HPV).
- #HPV infection was more prevalent in women with normal cytology (NILM) (p = 0.022).
- ##LR- and HR-HPV were detected with similar prevalence in single or multiple HPV infections (p = 0.0727 and 0.0949, respectively).
- ###In multiple HPV infections, HR-HPV was more prevalent than LR in women with NILM and LSIL (p = 0.01).
