Published: June 2019

The prevalence of tattoos is increasing and as such every physician must be aware of the potential adverse events associated with tattooing. Here we present a 36-year-old man with a recent history of skin-coloured papules appearing suddenly in a 20-year-old tattoo on the right forearm. Biopsy and histologic examination confirmed a diagnosis of verrucae planae or flat warts. Tattoo-associated human papilloma virus infections develop clinical manifestations after long latency periods and are often difficult to treat. The risk of tattoo-related human papilloma virus infection should be discussed when considering acquiring a tattoo.

Oncogene-induced senescence (OIS) is a form of cellular senescence triggered by oncogenic signaling and, potentially, by infection with oncogenic viruses. The role of senescence, along with its associated secretory phenotype, in the development of cervical cancer remains unclear. Additionally, the expression of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) has not yet been explored in cervical premalignant lesions infected by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV).

Introduction: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a widespread sexually transmitted infection and a leading cause of cervical cancer. Although there is a significant HPV prevalence in Ethiopia, yet the uptake of the HPV vaccine remains low. This study aimed to assess the level of caregivers' willingness to vaccinate their daughters against the human papilloma virus and associated factors in Jimma town.

Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a challenging disease to manage, due to its highly recurring nature and the lack of a definitive treatment. It is characterized by the presence of benign papillomatous lesions caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which can pose a threat to the patient's airway patency and restrict their breathing ability. We present the case of a 64-year-old patient with a history of papillomas in the trachea and bronchi, treated with endobronchial cryotherapy.

The safety and efficacy of vaccination is a subject contentious in the public mind. Despite overwhelming evidence of their benefits to public health, COVID-19 and human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccines have been the focus of intense concerns. While the original phase III trials and post-market phase IV studies have continued to show their benefits and positive safety profile, some authors have attempted to reassess the original trial data, purporting to showing hidden harms for both COVID-19 and HPV vaccines.

Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a rare condition involving the recurrent growth of benign papillomas in the respiratory tract caused exclusively by human papillomavirus (HPV). We present the case of a five-year-old child who arrived at the emergency department with severe respiratory distress, hoarseness, and biphasic stridor. The patient required urgent transfer to the operating room for the emergency debridement of papillomas.
