Papillomavirus of the person

The human papillomavirus infection is a group of viral diseases which distinguishing character is formation of papillomas on skin and mucous membranes of various bodies. Besides, the recurrent current and high contageousness is characteristic of a papillomavirus. As the papillomavirus of the person at men and women is easily transmitted sexually, the virus often is found in urogenital area.

The causative agent of a papillomavirus is the group of viruses of the Papavaviridae family. At the moment more than hundred kinds of a papillomavirus of the person at women and men are known, and about 70 of them are studied rather well. Scientists found out that separate types of a papillomavirus can strike certain types of an epithelium and cause characteristic changes of fabrics.

Sources of infection with a papillomavirus

Papillomavirus source is always the person. It is necessary to notice that healthy people can even act as carriers of activators. Usually the papillomavirus of the person at women and men does not prove in any way, but once the organism endures a strong stressful situation or other adverse external effect, it becomes more active and leads to numerous complications. Transmission of infection is carried out at direct skin contact and interaction of mucous membranes including during sexual intercourse. Pregnant women can transfer activators to a fruit, and then the child initially is born the patient.

Symptoms of a papillomavirus of the person

At a disease of a papillomavirus of the person at men and women generally the infection proves external signs.

Sharp-pointed condylomas – most often are located on a mucous surface of small vulvar lips, necks of uterus, vaginas, about an urethra.

Merge of condylomas – in the absence of treatment of a papillomavirus separate condylomas grow together and create uniform formation of color of a laminaria. Similar manifestations are characteristic of some other infections, in particular of HIV therefore only qualified specialists have to be engaged in diagnosis.

The biopsy and histologic researches allowing to distinguish flat papilloma from other types of educations are shown to patients.

Several words about possible complications. Causative agents of a papillomavirus have own DNA. Therefore, at defeat of bodies there is a merge of DNA of a virus and an epithelium. Kernels in such changed cells change a form and color. Eventually division of the mutating cells accepts uncontrolled character that leads to genetic frustration and regeneration of normal fabrics in cancer.

The most different methods are applied to removal of condylomas and the changed epithelium:

• chemical – cauterization solkodermy, trichloroacetic acid or Pheresolum;
