- Estudo do tipo de Papilomavírus Humano (HPV) no aparelho genital feminino e masculinoPublication . Santo, C.; Pista, A.; Bartolo, E.; Almeida, M.; Ayres, L.; Ferreira, P.; Rodrigo, G.O diagnóstico e tipiflcação do Papiomavírus Humano foi iniciado no Laboratório de Virologia do Instituto Nacional de Saúde em Novembro de 1990. Até Maio de 1991 foram estudadas 81 amostras prvenientes de 70 indivíduos, 57 do sexo feminino e 13 do sexo masculino, observados na Unidade de Patologia Cervico-Vulvar da consulta de ginecologia do Hospital de St’ Maria. De entre os indivíduos do sexo feminino, 49 (86%) tinham evidência colposcópica, histológica e/ou citológica que sugeriam infecção pelo HPV. No sexo masculino, 11 indivíduos (85%) tinham manifestações clínicas e os restantes 2 (15%) correspondiam a casos em que houve contacto sexual com indivíduos infectados, embora até no momento não se observassem lesões aparentes. A detecção do DNA foi positiva em 43 indivíduos (61%), dos quais 42 foram positivos para o HPV-611 1(98%) e 1 para o HPV-16 (2%). Embora preliminares, estes resultados sugerem que também entre nós a infecção genital pelo Papilomavírus Humano deve ser considerada um problema de Saúde Pública no domínio das doenças sexualmente transmissíveis.
