title: [Evaluation of the frequency of oncogenic HPV in venereal condyloma. Prospective study of 24 patients].
abstract: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection tend to be the most prevalent sexually transmitted disease (STD), and "high-risk" HPV types are correlated to intra-epithelial neoplasia, especially cervical cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of "high risk" HPV types in condyloma.
  
  
  METHODS
  A non randomised prospective study was performed, including 24 patients with condyloma examined in the department of Dermatology of Charles Nicolle's hospital. Molecular hybridisation method was realised for all patients to identify HPV type.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Mean age of the 24 patients was 37.8 years Ratio (male/female): 1.4 In 21 patients HPV DNA was detected 2 women had "high risk" HPV type (9.5%).
