- Authors
Fiander, Alison N.; Tristram, Amanda J.
- Abstract
The article offers information on human papillomavirus vaccines. Human papillomavirus virus (HPV) is a virus that infects squamous epithelial surfaces. Low-risks types of HPV cause anogenital warts while high-risk oncogenic types of HPV cause anogenital neoplasia. Neoplasia is found most often in the cervix, although the vulva, vagina, and anal region may also be infected. The natural history of HPV infection is discussed. Information on the immune response to HPV infection is also presented.
