  1. Human Papillomavirus (HPV)

  2. Wed, Nov 21 2007 Tanjung Jaya, Indonesia

  3. The Virus • Papovaviridae • infect skin and mucous membrane • entry through clathrin mediated endocytosis to basal epithelia from micro-abrasions

  4. Epidemiology • modes of transmission is skin to skin, mucous membrane contact • perinatal transmission (rare) causing respiratory papillomatosis • 45% women at age 20-24, anyone sexually active is at risk

  5. HPV types • >100 subtypes, 30-40 STD • high-risk type HPV 16, 18, 35, 45 –leads to cervical, vulva, vaginalcancer and other genitalia cancer including in men • low-risk type HPV 6, 11 –causes genital warts • cutaneous HPV 1,2 –skin warts

  6. HPV type 16 and 18 cause nearly 70% of cases of cervical cancer • HPV type 6 and 11 cause approx. 90% of genital warts • Both 4 types cause 35-50% of all low grade cervical, vaginal and vulvar lesions

  7. Diagnosis • abnormal PAP smear • HPV DNA testing (problem- expensive, cannot distinguish active or latent) • acetic acid-warts more visible

  8. Treatment and Prevention • common skin and genital warts will regress spontaneously/ months/ years due to immune response • common warts also can be eliminated using lasers • vaccine Gardasil from Merck –approved June 2006 and Cervarix from GlaxoSmithKline –approved May 2007

  9. ‘trick’ body into thinking that there is HPV infection thus generates immune response • vaccine does not cure HPV, it prevents thus not suitable for infected patient, but not 100% prevention • best prevention = vaccine + PAP smear annually (depends)

  10. HPV in Malaysia • cervical cancer is 2nd most common cancer in women • Gardasil has been approved during October 2006 • MSD collaborate with OGSM to spearhead ‘Tell Someone’ campaign • small figures for those who undergoes PAP smear each year
