Analysis of human genital warts (condylomata acuminata) and other genital tumors for human papillomavirus type 6 DNA.

32P-labelled cloned HPV 6 DNA was used as probe to analyze human genital tumors for DNA sequences homologous to HPV 6 DNA. Ninety three percent of all condylomata acuminata (41 out of 44) were found to harbor HPV 6 DNA. Of the remaining three, one contained HPV 1 DNA. No papillomavirus DNA was identified in the two other tumors. All three invasively growing giant condylomata acuminata (Buschke-Löwenstein tumors) investigated also contained HPV 6 DNA. Two out of six atypical condylomata of the cervix hybridized with HPV 6 DNA under stringent conditions, one only under conditions of low stringency. All DNA preparations from malignant tumors studies (54 cervical carcinomas, 10 penile carcinomas, two vulvar carcinomas) failed to anneal with HPV 6 DNA, even under conditions of low stringency. Although all HPV 6-positive condylomata acuminata analyzed in this study revealed HPV 6 DNA of regular molecular weight (5.1 x 10(6)), two of the Buschke-Löwenstein tumors, as well as one of the two positive atypical condylomata of the cervix, contained HPV 6 DNA with a remarkable size classes occurred in a supercoiled form without evidence for integration into host cell DNA.

Genital pathology: its impact on the interpretation of signs of genital trauma (SEAL development training).

A seminar was held in October 1997 at Wood Street Police Station by courtesy of the City of London Police to explore the diagnostic difficulties posed by pathological conditions affecting the vulva and penis, which may cause problems when assessing the nature and degree of genital injury in allegations of sexual assault. While a lot of the presentations were visual, in the form of slides of the discussed conditions, a synopsis of each speaker's contribution is given below.

[Nerve-sparing, feminizing genital reconstruction to correct genital virilism: Experience of 25 children with adrenogenital syndrome].

The reconstruction of the virilized genitalia in females with adrenogenital syndrome (AGS) is carried out sparing the dorsal neurovascular bundle either through clitoral recession or reduction with simultaneous vaginoplasty and clitoroplasty. Within seven years, 25 girls aged 6 months to 16 years (mean 2 1/2 years) with AGS had a nerve-sparing genital reconstruction with resection of the clitoral shaft in one session as described by Praetorius. 23 children had a C21-defect and 1 a C11 beta-hydroxylase defect; one child had an external virilisation. All children were followed over an average period of 50 months: 21 had a good cosmetic result, the glans had a normal blood supply and was sensitive to a prick test; in 2 girls nerve integrity was demonstrated by somato-sensory evoked potentials. 2 children had small disturbing skin folds of the newly created labia and 2 girls had a somewhat scrotal appearance of the labia. The introitus caliber measured 14 F in girls operated before 6 years of age; however, a 14- and 16-year-old required intermittent bougienage.

External genital warts: report of the American Medical Association Consensus Conference. AMA Expert Panel on External Genital Warts.

A consensus process was undertaken to describe and evaluate current information and practice regarding the diagnosis, treatment, and evaluation of patients with external genital warts (EGWs) and their sex partners. This process developed a number of key statements that were based on strong evidence in the literature or reasonable suppositions and opinions of experts. Key statements included the following. In most cases, EGWs can be diagnosed clinically by visual inspection. No one treatment is ideal for all patients or all warts. Women with EGWs and female sex partners of men with EGWs are at increased risk for human papillomavirus-related cervical disease and, like all women, should be screened for cervical cancer. The diagnosis of EGWs in children requires a sexual abuse evaluation. Clinicians who treat EGWs have a responsibility to counsel patients and to provide information about the infectivity, diagnosis, treatment, and natural history of EGWs and general information about sexual health and other sexually transmitted diseases.

The risk of transmission of genital Chlamydia trachomatis infection is less than that of genital Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection.

A total of 211 men with 237 female sexual partners and a total of 155 women with 156 male consorts were examined for genital infection with Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The index patients had either single chlamydial or gonococcal infections or dual infections with both microorganisms. Analysis of recovery rates for groups of sexual consorts indicated that gonorrhea was contracted more frequently than chlamydial infection. Thus, when index patients had dual infections, 45% and 28% of their female and male consorts, respectively, had chlamydial infection, but 64% and 77%, respectively, had gonorrhea. When index patients had single infections with C. trachomatis or N. gonorrhoeae, chlamydial infections were observed in consorts of 45% (women) and 28% (men), but gonococcal infections were observed in 80% (women) and 81% (men). Moreover, a significantly larger proportion of consorts of patients with chlamydial infection eluded infection than did partners of patients with gonorrhea. Women who used an intrauterine contraceptive device had chlamydial and gonococcal infections more often than those who used other forms of contraception, or no contraceptive.

Combined genital prolapse repair reinforced with a polypropylene mesh and tension-free vaginal tape in women with genital prolapse and stress urinary incontinence: a retrospective case-control study with short-term follow-up.

BACKGROUND: To evaluate the tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) in both stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and occult SUI as an associated procedure at the time of tension-free polypropylene mesh repair for the treatment of genitourinary prolapse. METHODS: Forty-eight consecutive women undergoing surgery for genital prolapse and concurrent SUI from November 1999 to September 2002. Preoperatively, SUI was symptomatic in 29 women and occult in 19, with a positive stress test during repositioning of the prolapse. All patients had urethral hypermobility and none had intrinsic sphincter deficiency. The cystocele repair was performed in all patients according to the technique of tension-free polypropylene mesh. Twenty-six women had an associated TVT and 22 had no associated procedure for SUI (control group). The main outcome measures were postoperative SUI, voiding dysfunction, and recurrence of prolapse. RESULTS: The median follow-up was 20 +/- 10.1 months (range 7-41). Patient characteristics and preoperative urodynamic evaluation were similar in the two groups. In patients with preoperative SUI, postoperative SUI occurred in 1/15 of the TVT group (6.7%) vs. 5/14 (35.7%) in the control group (p < 0.05), and voiding dysfunction occurred in 2/15 patients of the TVT group (13.3%) vs. 0/14 in the control group (p > 0.05). In patients with preoperative occult SUI, postoperative SUI occurred in 0/11 of the TVT group vs. 1/8 (12.5%) in the control group (p > 0.05), and voiding dysfunction occurred in 3/11 patients of the TVT group (27.3%) vs. 0/8 in the control group (p < 0.05). Anatomic success on prolapse was 88.5% (23/26) and 86.4% (19/22) in the TVT and the control group, respectively (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: In patients with preoperative SUI, TVT is more efficient than prosthetic cystocele repair alone to prevent postoperative SUI, without differences in voiding dysfunction. In patients with preoperative occult SUI, prosthetic cystocele repair is as efficient as TVT, with a decreased risk of voiding dysfunction.

[Presence of genital Chlamydia trachomatis in abortion seekers--correlates with young age and nulliparity but not with previous genital infection].

Out of 432 women applying for termination of pregnancy, 7.9% (34/428) had cervical Chlamydia trachomatis and 0.7% (3/431) genital Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The prevalence of Chlamydia was 19.2% among the women applying for termination who were under 20 years and 12.8% among those aged 21-25 years. The finding of Chlamydia among nulliparae was 14.5%. Only 2.8% of the women with Chlamydia had previously had pelvic infections. Women with Chlamydia did not have significantly greater frequency of previous venereal diseases. It is concluded that women under the age of 25 years and nulliparae who apply for termination of pregnancy should be examined for Chlamydia and should be treated in connection with the intervention. Previous pelvic infections are observed significantly more rarely in women with Chlamydia applying for termination and thus do not constitute an indication for examination for Chlamydia. It is not yet elucidated whether women with previous venereal diseases should be examined for Chlamydia. On account of the low prevalence, there are no indications for performing routine smears in women applying for termination of pregnancy for gonococci but, on the other hand it appears relevant to examine women with Chlamydia for gonococci as double infections are frequently present.

[Genital mycoplasma colonization in the female genital tract].

Cervical or vaginal specimens obtained from 1,178 females at different physiologic periods of life were cultured for ureaplasma urealyticum and Mycoplasma hominis. Low recovery rates of U. urealyticum were obtained in the neonates (20/72, 27.8%) and puerperal (22/83, 26.5%) and postmenopausal (21/70, 30.0%) women. The highest incidence (114/157, 72.6%) was observed in pregnant women. It is suggested that the colonization of genital mycoplasma is associated with the hormonal status of the women.
