[Genital HPV infection, relation between vulvar and cervico-vaginal localization]

Abstract

The Authors studied 37 women affected by vulvar condylomatosis. Thirty-four presented features of florid or microflorid condylomatosis, three were affected by flat condylomatosis, Papillomavirus (HPV) infection of the cervico-vaginal tract was present in 25 women. No vulvar cellular atypia was found in the 37 cases with HPV lesions, while in 6 cases there were also cervical dysplasia (CIN 1-CIN 2). Nineteen out of 23 patients with disseminated revealed a vaginal flogosis mostly by yeats, detected by microbiological examinations. The evidence of disseminated florid or microflorid lesions associated with the virus infection, both located at the cervico-vaginal tract, support the ipothesis of virus types with higher virulence, a greater ubiquitary trophysm and a greater oncogenic risk, as supported also by other Authors.
