Objective: In this study was conducted subclinical human papillomavirus detection in samples from patients diagnosed with cervical ectropion to assess the prevalence of human papillomavirus infection associated with this condition. Methods: DNA was extracted with organic solvents (phenol /chloroform- isoamylic). Human papillomavirus detection was performed by PCR with generic primers MY09 and MY11 and the viral typing was performed using a commercial MPCR kit. Setting: Laboratorio de Genetica Molecular-Instituto de Oncologia y Hematologia; Results: The results showed that 26 % of the evaluated sample (13/50) was positive for the presence of human papillomavirus genome. Viral typing test identified high- oncogenic risk human papillomavirus (types 16 or 18) in 38.45.% of the positives cases. Likewise, 38.45 % was low oncogenic risk (types 6, 11 or mixed infection with 6/11 human papillomavirus) and 23.07 % could not be typified with the used methodology. Conclusions: Although this result is not statistically significant, the virus latent presence highlights the need for greater medical surveillance for positive patients, especially in cases where detected 16 and 18 high-risk oncogenic human papillomavirus types, because they may have increased risk of cervical cancer.
