- Summary
- Major advances in molecular biology and anti-viral chemotherapy in the last 10 years have revolutionized understanding of the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of virus-associated diseases and the potential for producing effective immunisation. Infections with human papillomavirus (HPV) are no exception.
- This book gives a comprehensive and scholarly overview of recent findings in regard to genital infection with HPV. Primarily written from a clinician's perspective, it contains authoritative chapters on the epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of anogenital warts in adults. HPV infections in children often pose difficult ethical, as well as clinical, problems and these are sensitively and definitively addressed in a separate chapter.
- In addition, the book contains four unique chapters reviewing the epidemiological and virological association of HPV with cervical, vulval, vaginal, penile and anal cancers, whilst two concise and authoritative chapters deal with the virology and immunology of HPV infection.
