[Diagnosis and treatment of human papilloma virus].
The identification and treatment of human papillomavirus (HPV) infections and HPV-associated neoplasm are complex. Difficulties in diagnosis and treatment of HPV-associated diseases arise from inabilities to detect HPV efficiently, the lack of specific antiviral drugs active against HPV and the high rates of recurrence and persistence of HPV infections after treatment. We present a review of therapies for HPV infections.
