Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STI) in young women. Infection frequently is asymptomatic, but may lead to anogenital condylomata and cervical squamous cell carcinoma. This article provides an overview of the recent literature on HPV infection and its clinical sequelae with a focus on issues pertinent to adolescents.
