title: [Use of atomic force microscopy to study the cytomorphological signs of papillomavirus infection].
abstract: The paper presents the results of studying genital squamous epitheliocytes from human papillomavirus-infected female patients by cytology and atomic force microscopy. The squamous epitheliocytes with and without cytomorphological signs of papillomavirus infection (koilocytosis, dyskeratosis, parakeratosis, hyperkeratosis) have been compared. Examining the surface of the squamous epithelium has yielded quantitative characteristics of infection-induced surface changes.
