Article Synopsis
- The study focused on detecting the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in the normal oral mucosa of asymptomatic individuals and examined the relationship between HPV presence and social behaviors.* -
- Using a cohort cross-sectional method, PCR was employed on 125 oral mucosa samples, with all samples confirming the beta-globin gene and 23.2% testing positive for HPV.* -
- The findings indicated that 29 patients had HPV without any visible symptoms, and a statistical correlation was found between oral sex practices and HPV presence, particularly in female patients.*
Objective: To evaluate whether the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) enhances the diagnosis of human papillomavirus (HPV) in biopsies of the uterine cervix with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) or invasive neoplasia.
Study Design: Samples of 71 paraffin-embedded cervical tissue blocks from patients seen in the period 1997-1998 were analyzed. Samples were selected according to age (18-60 years old) and an active sexual life and divided in to 3 groups: test (samples with CIN or invasive neoplasia and a negative HPV diagnosis), positive controls (samples with CIN or invasive neoplasia and a positive HPV diagnosis) and negative controls (samples without CIN or invasive neoplasia and a negative HPV diagnosis).
