Eyebrow hairs from actinic keratosis patients harbor the highest number of cutaneous human papillomaviruses
BACKGROUND Cutaneous human papillomavirus (HPV) infections seem to be associated with the onset of actinic keratosis (AK). This study compares the presence of cutaneous HPV types in eyebrow hairs to those in tissues of normal skin and skin lesions of 75 immunocompetent AK patients. METHODS Biopsies from AK lesions, normal skin and plucked eyebrow hairs were collected from each patient. DNA fr...
متن کاملPersistence of betapapillomavirus infections as a risk factor for actinic keratoses, precursor to cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.
Human papillomaviruses from the beta genus (betaPV) are a possible cause of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). We assessed the extent to which betaPV infections persisted long-term in a subtropical Australian community and whether betaPV persistence is positively associated with actinic keratoses, precursor for SCC. Eyebrow hairs were collected from 171 participants of the community-based...
متن کاملEpidemiology Persistence of Betapapillomavirus Infections as a Risk Factor for Actinic Keratoses, Precursor to Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Human papillomaviruses from the β genus (βPV) are a possible cause of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). We assessed the extent to which βPV infections persisted longterm in a subtropical Australian community and whether βPV persistence is positively associated with actinic keratoses, precursor for SCC. Eyebrow hairs were collected from 171 participants of the community-based Nambour Skin...
متن کاملMarkers of cutaneous human papillomavirus infection in individuals with tumor-free skin, actinic keratoses, and squamous cell carcinoma.
Separately, actinic keratosis (AK) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) have been associated with cutaneous human papillomavirus (HPV) infections. To further explore the association between HPV infection and SCC development, we determined markers of cutaneous HPV infection within a single population in persons with precursor lesions (AK), cancerous lesions (SCC), and without. Serum and p...
متن کاملHuman papillomaviruses of skin and genital lesions
Around 5% of all cancer cases worldwide are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) which has been established as the cause of cervical cancer and genital warts (condylomas). Cutaneous HPV types have been weakly associated with non-melanoma skin lesions such as squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and actinic keratosis (AK). We have analyzed skin and genital lesions for presence of HPV-DNA in order to se...
