title: The viral lesion (HPV) of the lower genital tract in teen agers: clinical and therapeutic aspects.
abstract: From January 1985 to July 1987, 116 adolescents affected by the lesions of the lower genital tract (Human Papilloma Virus +/- Intraepithelial Neoplasia) came to the laser surgery service of the 2nd Department of the Obstetric and Gynecologic Clinic of the University of Rome "La Sapienza" for the treatment of the lesions. The patients were examined also from the epidemiologic point of view and sides effects of the treatment were evaluated. A cure rate of 92% is certainly a significant value, especially considering the higher frequency of recurrence at the vulvovaginal level.
