Detection of human papillomavirus type 5 DNA in skin cancers of an immunosuppressed renal allograft recipient

M A Lutzner et al. Lancet. .

Abstract

A renal allograft recipient with an epidermodysplasia-verruciformis-like syndrome was found to have human papillomavirus type 5 (HPV-5) in his benign warty lesions and HPV-5 DNA in two of his skin cancers. This finding points to a role for HPV-5 in skin oncogenesis in renal allograft recipients.
