Objective To analyze the correlation between the expressions of inflammatory factors in vaginal lavage fluid and persistent infection of high-risk human papillomavirus(HR-HPV). Methods A total of 80 patients with HR-HPV persistent infection in our hospital from March 2019 to March 2021 were selected as the experimental group. According to the pathological examination results, 19 patients with cervical cancer were selected as the experimental group 1, 30 patients with CIN grade I were selected as the experimental group 2, and 31 patients with CIN grade II and III were selected as the experimental group 3. Thirty healthy women in the same period were selected as the control group. HR-HPV load, TGF- β, IFN-γ, IL-17 and IL-6 levels were detected and were compared among the four groups. Pearson analysis of correlation between TGF- β, IFN-γ, IL-17, IL-6 levels and HR-HPV load was carried out. Results There were significant differences in the levels of inflammatory factors in vaginal lavage fluid and HR-HPV load among the four groups (P<0.05). TGF- β、IL-17 and IL-6 levels were positively correlated with HR-HPV load and negatively correlated with IFN-γ (P<0.05). Conclusions There is a certain correlation between inflammatory factors in vaginal lavage fluid and HR-HPV load in patients with HR-HPV persistent infection. HR-HPV load is negatively correlated with IFN-γ, and positively correlated with TGF-β, IL-17 and IL-6. The degree of HPV infection could be evaluated by detecting the inflammatory factors in vaginal lavage fluid.
