Evidence of latent HPV infection in older Danish women with a previous history of cervical dysplasia.

Introduction: Understanding whether human papillomavirus (HPV) may establish latency in the uterine cervix is important. A better understanding of HPV natural history is useful for clinical counseling of women attending screening and to accurately inform health prevention strategies such as screening and HPV vaccination. We evaluated the extent of latent HPV infections in older women with a history of abnormal cytology.

Cervical HPV prevalence and genotype distribution in immunosuppressed Danish women.

Introduction: Women receiving immunosuppressive treatment due to organ transplantation are at increased risk of Human papilloma virus (HPV)-related diseases, including cervical neoplasia. This pilot study aimed to describe the cervical HPV prevalence and genotype distribution in immunosuppressed Danish women.

Material And Methods: We included women who underwent renal (RTR) or bone marrow transplantation (BMTR) in 2009-2012 or 2014 at Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark.

Can Dynamic Spectral Imaging System colposcopy replace conventional colposcopy in the detection of high-grade cervical lesions?

The sensitivity of conventional colposcopy for the detection of high-grade cervical lesions (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia stage 2 or above; CIN2+) is poor. We aimed to investigate if a Dynamic Spectral Imaging System (DySIS) can enhance or replace conventional colposcopy in clinical practice. From 3 December 2013 to 29 January 2014 a total of 239 women were included.
