M16 = mixed infection with HPV 16 identified by type-specific sequencing primer.

M 16, 18 = mixed infection with HPV 16 and HPV 18 identified by type-specific sequencing primers.

M others = mixed infections by HPV types which cannot be sequenced with type-specific primers for HPV 6, 11, 16 or 18.

Digene High-risk + includes those cases reported as positive for both High-risk and Low-risk HPV types.

The underlined HPV genotypes are included in the "High-risk" Digene HC2 cocktail probe.
