Aim: To investigate the prevalence of cervicovaginal co-infection with high-risk (HR) HPV types and other sexually transmitted pathogens (STPs) in women with anogenital warts (AGWs). Patients and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, cervico-vaginal smears of women with AGWs were examined with real-time polymerase chain reaction for the presence of HR-HPV types and common STPs. Women with recent cervical HPV infection and general population were used for comparisons. Results: A total of 689 women participated in the study. Among the examined groups, higher rates of cervico-vaginal co-infection with HRHPV types and other STPs collectively were recorded in women with AGWs (p=0.0049 and p<0.004, respectively). Within the AGWs group, cervical co-infection with HR-HPV types was detected more often in women with recurrent disease (p<0.001). Conclusion: The higher rates of cervicovaginal co-infection with HR-HPV types and common STPs in women with AGWs may affect their risk for cervical carcinogenesis and the natural course of their disease. © 2020 International Institute of Anticancer Research.
