Introduction: Condyloma acuminata that is also known as genital warts are one of the most common sexually transmitted caused by infection Human papillomavirus (HPV). Persistent Low Risk (LR) or High risk (HR) HPV a factor for progress into benign malignant cancer. The objective to analyze distribution genotype LR-HPV and HR-HPV at condyloma in anogenital region. Methods: A cross sectional study...

Clinical and subclinical human papillomavirus (HPV) infections are the most common sexually transmitted infections in the world, and most sexually-active individuals are likely to be exposed to HPV infection during their lifetimes. More than 40 genotypes of HPV infect the epithelial lining of the anogenital tract and other mucosal areas of the body; of these, 13-18 types are considered to be hi...

More than 100 human papillomavirus (HPV) types have been identified of which at least 42 are associated with infections of the genital tract [1]. HPV infection is commonly occurring as a sexually transmitted infection in Romania [2]. HPV infection with oncogenic high-risk types may be find in all cases of cancers in the anogenital tract in humans, for example cervical, penile and anal cancers. ...

©FFPRHC J Fam Plann Reprod Health Care 2007: 33(4) Introduction Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are a large family of small double-stranded DNA viruses that infect squamous epithelia (or cells with the potential for squamous maturation) including the skin and the mucosae of the anogenital tract and upper respiratory tract. More than 100 HPVs have been isolated from clinical biopsies. HPVs are clas...

Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes cervical cancer and is strongly associated with other anogenital cancers. Multiple-type HPV infection has been associated with lengthier infection and precancerous lesions. Little is known about multiple-type HPV prevalence and associated factors in men. We examined the prevalence of and risk factors for multiple-type HPV in primarily asymptomatic men. Detectio...

BACKGROUND Persistent high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection is associated with the development of anogenital cancers, particularly in men living with HIV (MLWH). We describe the prevalence of anogenital HPV infection, abnormal anal cytology and anogenital warts (AGWs) in MLWH in Johannesburg, and explore whether HPV infection and receipt of antiretroviral treatment is associated wit...

INTRODUCTION All available treatments for anogenital warts have substantial failure rates. An immunomodulating treatment that enhances the patient's own immunity could be valuable as an adjuvant to conventional methods. METHODS About 123 patients were enrolled in this study and were randomized either to undergo only cryotherapy every 3 weeks (n = 60 patients) or to undergo cryotherapy and to ...
