Abstract. Chetsanga C, Pettersson B, Pettersson U, Gyllensten U. Detection of human papillomavirus DNA in cervical smears by the polymerase chain reaction. Int J Gynecol Cancer 1991; 1: 209–213.A PCR-based method has been developed which allows human papillomavirus DNA to be detected in routinely obtained cervical smear specimens. The results showed that 76% of the smears that were collected from women who were carrying HPV-positive lesions by cervical swab analysis were positive by the PCR-based method. The results suggest that it is possible to carry out population-based retrospective studies of archival cervical smears.
