Cervical cancer causes 7% of cancer deaths among Brazilian female population and has an estimated incidence rate of 20/100 thousand for the country. Scientific evidences proof that human papillomavirus (HPV) is necessary cause to this cancer. Control and prevention actions are recommended with the knowledge about the disease epidemiology. Brazilian studies about HPV prevalence in literature have different characteristics and wait to be analyzed in a set and in systematized manner. The aim of this study was perform a systematic review of the papers about HPV prevalence in Brazilian among Brazilian women, considering global prevalence and those with normal cytology results. All papers were selected after search in Medline and BVS databases, using terms human papillomavirus HPV prevalence Brazil NOT HIV NOT pregnant . Between 1989 and 2008, 155 papers were selected (133 in Medline, 22 secondary references). After reading of title and abstract, 82 papers were included, and then submitted to perusal of the texts; at the end, 14 papers were selected, representing studies from four great Brazilian regions (Southeast 43%, South 21,4%, Northeast 21,4% e North 7,1%). In 64,5% papers, the studies were cross-sectional. Concerning the HPV identifying method in women, in eight (57,1%) papers PCR was used to typing HPV and in seven (50%) papers HC was used to HPV detection. The samples range from 49 to 2329 women. HPV global prevalence in cervix range from 13,7 to 54,3%, and for women with normal cytology results, HPV prevalence in cervix varied from 10 e 24,5%. The results of this study may contribute to the understanding about distribution of HPV infection in country, helping to the guidance of other studies, as well as in the politics focused to women s health and control and prevention of cervical cancer.
