papillomavirus
Classification:
- HPV types: 1-68
- high-risk: types 16 & 18
- low-risk: beta-HPV
Etiology:
- exposure to HPV in connection with superficial injury or minor trauma
Epidemiology:
- prevalence of oral HPV 7% (U.S., 2009-2010) [8]
- ~50% high-risk HPV, HPV-16 most common
- 45% of men age 18-59 positive for HPV [22]
- 1/3 of these infected/colonized with at least 1 strain susceptible to 9-valent vaccine [22]
- 12% of men & 3% of women with oral HPV (2011-2014) [25]
- high-risk oral HPV in 7% of men & 1% of women
- 13% of men & 4% of women with same sex partners
- 22% of homosexual men with multiple partners [25]
- prevalence of oral HPV highest in men age 50-54 years
- oral HPV more common in those with concurrent genital HPV [25]
- HPV is sexually transmitted (genital warts)
- prevalence of genital HPV ~40% in U.S. adults [23]
- prevalence 8-fold higher in people who have ever had sex
- risk of HPV increases with number of sexual partners
- 3.7% likelihood of heterosexual transmission in 1 month; 20% likelihood of heterosexual transmission in 6 months [7]
- prevalence is higher in men than women
- higher alcohol consumption in men linked to higher risk of HPV [16]
- from 2000 to 2009 [12]
- incidence of oropharyngeal & anal cancers increased
- black men have the highest annual incidence rate of anal cancer
- American Indian/Alaska Native men have the highest incidence of oropharyngeal cancer
- incidence rates of cervical cancer decreased
- exception: American Indian/Alaska Native
- persistence of high-risk papillomavirus infection
- average clearance time
- 12 months in white women
- 18 months in black women [10]
- infection persistence after 2 years
- 24% of white women
- 56% of black women [10]
- incidence declined by more than 1/2 in girls after introduction of HPV vaccine [13]
- 39,000 papillomavirus-associated cancers/year or 11.7 per 100,000 people [21]
- from 1999-2015 annual increases observed in HPV-associated squamous cell carcinomas [26]
- oropharyngeal cancer: 2.7% for men,.8% for women
- anal cancer: 2.1% for men, 2.9% for women
- vulvar cancer: 1.3%
Pathology:
1) all warts are caused by papillomavirus
a) common warts: HPV types 1,2,3,4
b) plantar warts: HPV types 1,4
c) flat warts: HPV types 3,10
d) epidermodysplasia verruciformis: HPV types 3,5,8,9,10, 12,14,15,17,19-25, 28,29
e) genital warts: condyloma acuminata
- HPV types 6,11 cause 90%
- also types: 16,18,30,31,33,34,35,39,40,42,43,44,45,51, 52,53,54, 55,56,57,58,59,66,68
f) respiratory warts: HPV types 6,11,30
2) cervical intraepithelial neoplasia & cervical cancer [1,3]
- HPV-16 & HPV-18 cause 70% of all cervical cancer
3) vulvar cancer
4) vaginal cancer
5) anal cancer: HPV-16 & HPV-18
6) penile cancer: HPV-16 & HPV-18
7) oropharyngeal cancer (tonsil, base of tongue, pharynx) [9]
- oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma is most common oral HPV-associated cancer [25]
- HPV-16 positive cancers with better prognosis than HPV-16- negative cancers [1,19]
- HPV infection is less common in the oropharynx than in the genital tract
- oral HPV infection often clears spontaneously
- might be more likely to persist in older age [13]
8) low-risk human papillomavirus strains (beta-HPV) are not associated with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma [6]
Clinical manifestations:
1) exophytic lesions 1-3 mm in diameter
a) perianal area
b) labia minora
c) tongue [24]
2) lesions enhanced by application of 3-5% acetic acid to mucosal & skin surfaces - tissues may turn white & appear shiny & raised
* images [24]
Complications:
- survivors of HPV-associated cancers at risk for 2nd HPV-associated cancer
- 81 per 10,000 person-years among women
- 62 per 10,000 person-years among men [27]
Laboratory:
1) Papanicolaou's (Pap) smear
2) human papillomavirus DNA
- urinary HPV testing has good accuracy for detecting cervical HPV, especially in first-void samples [17]
- papilloma virus genotyping identifies high-risk HPV
3) see ARUP consult [11]
Management:
1) no treatment is universally effective
2) recurrence rate of 25% at 3 months with destructive modalities
a) cryotherapy
b) laser therapy
c) electrodessication
d) podofilox
3) condoms may prevent transmission
4) vaccine for HPV-16/18 Gardasil [4]
