Objective: Cervical cancer is caused by human papilloma virus (HPV) infection, and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) a precancerous lesion. Common treatments for CIN are conization laser vaporization. HPV testing useful predicting residual or recurrent disease after surgical treatment. We performed high-risk (HR-HPV) genotyping postoperatively to examine the positivity rate determine whe...

Buschke and Lowenstein (GCBL) is a slow-growing, locally destructive verrucous plaque that typically appears on the penis but may occur elsewhere in the anogenital region. It is a rare sexually transmitted disease, affecting 0.01% of the general population. The virus responsible for GCBL is human papillomavirus (HPV), usually type 6 or 11 and occasionally 16, 18 and 45. In our case study the pa...

background cervical cancer is the leading cause of death from cancer in under-developed countries. human papilloma virus (hpv) 16 and 18 are the most prevalent types associated with carcinogenesis in the cervix. conventional polymerase chain reaction (pcr), type-specific and consensus primer-based pcr followed by sequencing, restriction fragment length polymorphism (rflp) or hybridization by sp...

Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine recently has been added to the Iran Drug List, decision makers need information beyond that available from RCTs to recommend funding for this vaccination program to add it to the National Immunization program in Iran. Modeling and economic studies have addressed some of those information needs in foreign countries. In order to determine the long term benefit ...

The Bug Breakfast topic for October was Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). The presenters covered the epidemiology of HPV, the newly introduced HPV vaccine and social and psychological issues relating to HPV vaccination.

Human papilloma virus (HPV) was isolated from red plaques of a patient (N. F.) with epidermodysplasia verruciformis. Elec tron microscopic examination showed characteristic particles of papilloma virus as ¡cosahedrons about 45 nm in diameter. DNA was extracted from these particles, and closed-circular DNA (Form I) was purified by centrifugation in CsCI containing ethidium bromide. The molecula...

  Background and Objective: To estimate the risk of human papilloma virus (HPV) infection for cervical malignancies, we conducted a case-control study in southern Iran (Hormozgan province). Materials and Methods: For this purpose,52 paraffin embedded blocks with exact diagnosis of cervical carcinoma(50 carcinomas and 2 carcinomas in situ) from 2001 to 2006 and 52 praffin embedded blocks of ce...

Human papilloma virus (HPV) was isolated from red plaques of a patient (N. F.) with epidermodysplasia verruciformis. Electron microscopic examination showed characteristic particles of papilloma virus as icosahedrons about 45 nm in diameter. DNA was extracted from these particles, and closed-circular DNA (Form I) was purified by centrifugation in CsCl containing ethidium bromide. The molecular ...
