High-grade and low-grade HPV-induced urethral lesions treated by CO laser under colposcopy.

Objectives: This study is reporting the CO laser treatment efficiency on urethral lesions caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) and the correlation between the type of lesion high-grade and low-grade on the histology and the HPV genotype(s).

Methods: Sixty-nine patients (59 men and 10 women) with urethral lesions were screened for HPV genotype(s) by in situ hybridisation and PCR. HPV lesions were biopsied and p16 expression was tested to confirm urethral high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (U HSIL) on the histology prior to CO laser treatment under colposcopy.

Potential impact of the human papillomavirus vaccine on the incidence proportion of genital warts in French women (EFFICAE study): a multicentric prospective observational study.

Unlabelled: Background The objective was to evaluate the effect of a HPV vaccination program on the incidence proportion of a proxy, genital warts (GW), in women in France.

Methods: The number of primary GW cases was prospectively recorded over two 4-month periods before (T0: Dec 2008 to March 2009) and after (T1: Dec 2011 to March 2012) a HPV vaccination program. A total of 160 gynaecologists participated in T0 and 189 in T1.

[Prevalence of HPV-induced lesions in men: a study from 246 heterosexual couples].

Objectives: Human Papillomaviruses (HPV) infection is high in heterosexual couples. We have evaluated clinically the frequency and the histological type of genital lesions in men whose partners have an HPV cervical and/or external genital lesion.

Patients And Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study; we examined 246 men whose partner was referred for HPV lesions treatment of either the external genital tract or the cervix.
