Infantile digital fibromatosis: ultrastructural human papillomavirus and herpes simplex virus DNA observation.
We studied a case of infantile digital fibromatosis (IDF) by transmission electron microscopy. We could not detect either human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA types 6, 11, 16, and 18, or herpes simplex virus (HSV) DNA types 1 and 2 in IDF. Our results suggest that IDF is not associated with HPV and HSV infection.
