As regards to sample quality, 261 (97.0%) samples were considered valid as demonstrated by a sufficient B-globin amplification. Moreover, patients showed a high HPV positivity rate where only 6 (2.2%) lesions were HPV negative, while 58 (21.6%) were positive for a single HPV genotype, and 205 (76.2%) contained multiple HPV infections. A high level of multiple infections was observed in 135 (50.2%) cases harboring three or more HPV infections. The maximum number of multiple infections in one patient was seven. Figure (A full overview of genotype-specific prevalence can be found in Fig. Most prevalent multiple infection trends in HPV-positive index warts.Viral loads ranged from 1.11E−03 to 9.31E+06 copies per cell and showed a type-specific manifestation (Table Viral load quantification of identified HPV types.The table depicts the number of index warts (n) positive for each HPV type and the median viral load per specific type. Viral load is expressed as number of viral copies per cell. Viral load inter quartile range (IQR) per type is likewise described.
