This study aims to investigate the relationship between the human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and the altered vaginal microecological environment of patients. Initially, HPV genotyping and microecological detection were performed in 1281 subjects in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of The First Hospital of Qinhuangdao (Qinhuangdao, China). The relationship between the enzymes of vaginal microecology, that is, proline aminopeptidase and acetylglucosaminidase, and vaginal inflammatory diseases, as well as the prognosis of HPV infection, was analyzed. The experimental findings indicated a close relationship between the expression of positive prolyl aminopeptidase and trichomonas vaginitis, as well as bacterial vaginitis. In addition, the expression of acetylglucosaminidase is closely associated with trichomonas vaginitis and vulvovaginal candidiasis. Furthermore, the observations indicated that positive prolyl aminopeptidase and acetylglucosaminidase could increase the risk of various subtypes of HPV infection in patients. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis presented that the expression of prolyl aminopeptidase and acetylglucosaminidase could offer exceptional diagnostic efficacy, indicating their association with persistent HPV infection. In summary, our results highlighted that the expression of positive prolyl aminopeptidase and acetylglucosaminidase in the vaginal microecology could be substantially correlated to the occurrence and the development of vaginal inflammatory diseases, as well as the outcome and the risk of persistent HPV infection.
