To study the combined effect of smoking and human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 infection in high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, we analyzed data from a Norwegian population-based case-control study including 90 patients and 216 controls, 20-44 years of age. We assessed HPV-16 status both by polymerase chain reaction detecting virus DNA and by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay detecting antibodies against virus capsid. Smoking was associated with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade II-III in HPV-16-positive individuals. Using the jointly unexposed (HPV-16 DNA-negative never-smokers) as the reference group, we determined the risk of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade II-III in HPV-16 DNA-positive never-smokers and HPV-16 DNA-positive ever-smokers (odds ratio = 15.7; 95% confidence limits = 3.2, 76.5, and odds ratio = 65.9; 95% confidence limits = 22.3, 194.3, respectively). The estimated proportion of cases among HPV-16-positive smokers that is attributable to the interaction between the two causes is 74%, based on HPV-16 DNA positivity.
