We verified the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) E6/E7 protein mRNA expression in patients with low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSILs) and negative cervicovaginal cytology. To investigate the relationship between mRNA expression and viral infection type, we assessed genotyping in single infections. Samples from 825 women were submitted to the E6/E7 survey. We noticed a larger percentage of E6/E7 mRNA expression in the atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) and LSIL cytologies.
