چکیده
AIM Human papillomavirus (HPV) transmission via nonsexual modes in childhood has been proposed by several researchers. The aim of our study was to determine the presence of 'high-risk' HPV DNA in human breast milk. METHODS Using polymerase chain reaction techniques, we evaluated the presence of HPV infection in human breast milk collected from 21 HPV-positive and 11 HPV-negative mothers. RESULTS Of the 32 studied human milk specimens, no 'high-risk' HPV 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58 or 58 DNA was detected. CONCLUSION This preliminary case-control study indicates the absence of mucosal 'high-risk' HPV types in human breast milk.

متن کاملGenomic diversity of human papillomaviruses (HPV) and clinical implications: an overview in adulthood and childhood.
During the last years, several researchers have highlighted the importance of characterizing more than one genomic region in order to detect recombination and classify variants of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) properly. HPVs variants differ in their biological, molecular and chemical properties. Therefore, this genomic diversity can present differences in the natural history and pathogenicity o...

Background &Objective;: Breast cancer is the most common female malignancy. Detection of DNA of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) in breast carcinomas suggests that the virus may play a role in the pathogenesis of this disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of HPVs genotypes 6, 11, 16, 18 and 31 in paraffin-embedded tissue samples of invasive breast carcinomas. Me...
