There is strong circumstantial evidence that human papillomavirus is a cofactor in the development of cervical neoplasia. Systemic immunosuppression has also been implicated. A study was therefore carried out examining the relation between subtypes of human papillomavirus and local immunocompetent cells in the cervix. Colposcopically directed punch biopsy specimens were taken from normal cervix...

background: in 1970, human papillomavirus (hpv) was introduced as the main etiologic factor of cervical carcinoma. since there is no possibility of detecting the virus and its subtypes using serological methods and cell culture, the molecular methods such as pcr have particular importance in accurate, early and definite diagnosis of the virus. so, in this research, our goal is to use a propriet...

Studies on human papillomavirus (HPV) prevention education and its educational effects for elementary school students are necessary. This study aimed to examine the of knowledge about cervical cancer, HPV, immunization, attitude immunization among girls in sixth grade South Korea. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design is used. The sample included 131 (Intervention: n = 65, ...

human papilloma virus (hpv) is considered as the main sexually transmitted etiological agent for the cause and progression of preneoplastic cervical lesions to cervical cancer. this study is discussing the prevalence of hpv and its genotypes in cervical lesions and invasive cervical cancer tissues and their association with various risk factors in women from varanasi and its adjoining areas in ...

OBJECTIVE To identify the prevalence and factors associated with cervical human papillomavirus infection in women with systemic lupus erythematosus METHODS This cross-sectional study collected traditional and systemic lupus erythematosus-related disease risk factors, including conventional and biologic therapies. A gynecological evaluation and cervical cytology screen were performed. Human pa...

Background Among developing countries, Thailand shows no increase in the incidence of human papillomavirus-driven oropharyngeal cancer. The causal role of human papillomavirus infection in this pathology has not been researched thoroughly. Methods A hospital-based, case-control study was performed which included 104 patients with newly diagnosed oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas...

INTRODUCTION Human papillomavirus has been associated with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. However, there is no conclusive evidence on the prevalence of oral or pharyngeal infection by human papillomavirus in the Brazilian population. OBJECTIVE To determine the rate of human papillomavirus infection in the Brazilian population. METHODS Systematic review of published articles. Medline...

INTRODUCTION Vulvar cancer in older women is seldom associated with human papillomavirus infection. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of an 80-year-old Greek Caucasian woman with an undetermined obstetric and gynecologic history. The patient underwent radical vulvectomy and bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy for a vulvar carcinoma. A human papillomavirus infection was suggested on the bas...

Anal warts are, from an aetiological point of view, a diverse category of lesions including condylomata acuminata, fibroepithelial polyps and seborrhoeic keratosis. Human papillomavirus induced anal warts, in contrast to other types of warts, are contagious and not infrequently sexually transmitted, they therefore need to be accurately identified. A total of 24 anal warts were randomly collecte...
