[Human papilloma virus infections in adult women in Panama].
This study shows that 10% of Panamanian women are infected with VPH. This incidence of premalign and malign infection is one of the highest in the world. It is necessary that panamanian women be educated to participate in the program of the early detection of the disease to control the incidence of cancer in the uterine cervix.
