Published: March 1995

The pathogenesis of larynx papillomas has been a challenge of medical science for a long time. Both clinical observations and electronmicroscopical examinations have made it possible to establish the viral origin. Final evidence, however, has been achieved only by complicated immunohistochemical investigations. The Papova viruses--types 6 and/or 11--can be detected with in situ hybridization polymerase chain reaction amplification. HPV can be positivity demonstrated not only from visible papillomas but--in significant percentage--in neighboring healthy-looking mucous membranes. It may reveal the inadequacies of removal of lesions and the need for adjuvant therapy. To make treatment more effective we have developed a therapeutic regimen that combines CO2 laser microsurgery with immunostimulants.

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is an opportunistic infection with JC-virus (JCV), a papova-virus, affecting mostly oligodendrocytes and the white matter of the central nervous system. Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML) almost exclusively occurs in immunocompromised patients based on different underlying conditions of severe cellular immunodeficiency such as HIV/AIDS, secondary to neoplastic and autoimmune diseases, or during immunosuppressive therapy. We present the case of an otherwise healthy and immunocompetent patient without immunosuppressive therapy who was admitted with hemianopsia to the right side, sensory aphasia and changes of behavior.

Renal transplantation is method of choice for treatment of patients with end-stage renal disease without contraindications for immunosuppressive therapy. Neurological complications occur frequently in renal transplant recipients. They may be the consequence of immunosuppressive treatment, but more often evolve as the consequence of previous disturbances which developed during the state of uraemia and treatment with dialysis.

Laryngeal papillomatosis, due to type 6 and 11 papova-virus A, causes devastating lesions leading to difficult clinical situations (severe dysphonia, or laryngeal dyspnea). Recurrence requires repeated endoscopy with CO2 laser treatment to keep the airways free and prevent the lesions spreading. In patients presenting aggressive papillomatosis, such repeated intervention causes irreversible lesions which have a very negative impact on the vocal prognosis.
