Peer Review Process

Manuscripts submitted to Memorias del Instituto de Investigaciones en Ciencias de la Salud undergo a double-blind peer review process, in which the identities of both authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the evaluation. Each manuscript is assessed by a minimum of two external reviewers with expertise in the relevant subject area, who are given a period of 30 days to submit their evaluation. Reviewers assess the originality, methodological rigor, scientific relevance, and clarity of presentation of each work. Based on the reviewers' reports, the Editorial Committee decides whether to accept, request revisions, or reject the manuscript, and communicates the decision to the authors as promptly as possible. This process ensures impartiality, transparency, and the scientific quality of published articles.

Abstract

El cáncer de cuello uterino, causado por el virus del papiloma humano (HPV), constituye el tercer tipo de cáncer más común en mujeres en el mundo. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue determinar por reacción en cadena de la polimerasa seguida de hibridación reversa, la frecuencia de infecciones múltiples en mujeres positivas para HPV de alto riesgo oncogénico por captura híbrida II, según severidad de la lesión escamosa intraepitelial (SIL), carga viral relativa y edad, en el periodo 2007-2011. Este estudio de corte transverso incluyó 123 mujeres que acudieron al Instituto de Investigaciones en Ciencias de la Salud, 18 sin lesión (NSIL), 78 con SIL de bajo grado (LSIL) y 27 con SIL de alto grado (HSIL). Se detectaron infecciones múltiples en 37/123 mujeres (30,1%). Las mujeres con NSIL presentaron menor frecuencia de infecciones múltiples (5,6%) que las mujeres con SIL (34,3%) (p=0,03). No se observó aumento de frecuencia de infecciones múltiples con la severidad de la lesión, presentando las mujeres con LSIL un 34,6% y con HSIL, un 33,3%. No fue observada diferencia significativa entre la carga viral relativa de infecciones simples y múltiples, lo cual sugiere que en la infección múltiple podría ser solo uno de los tipos de HPV el que se esté replicando, causando una infección productiva. Además, se observó una alta frecuencia de infecciones múltiples (75%) en mujeres menores a 30 años. Finalmente los resultados sugieren que las infecciones múltiples podrían orientar la presencia de SIL, pero no el grado de severidad de la lesión cervical.
