[Cytologic and morphologic characteristics of human papillomavirus infection in cervix uteri pathology].
The role of human papilloma virus (HPV) in genital cancer is not yet clear at present, but the available data testify to serious changes in cervix uteri epithelium in the process of its infection. Close correlation was demonstrated between HPV type specificity and the degree of epithelial morphological changes as well as histologic tumor variant, and its degree of differentiation. Interrelation between HPV type and level of both regression and progression of atypically changed cervix uteri epithelium is established. Cytomorphological method of the evaluation of cell koilocytotic atypia is the marker to diagnose HPV infection when screening a chosen woman population. The development and introducing of sensitive and reliable identification methods of type-specific DNA sequences of HPV infection in diagnostic material to form a low risk (HPV-6 and II types) and a high risk group (HPV-16 and 18 types) by malignancy of cervix uteri epithelium have considerable promise. It is advisable to study HPV role in the development of adenogenic tumors of uterine cervix and body.
