Genital HPV infection is one of the most common sexually-transmitted diseases. The aim of the study was to evaluate the correlation between HPV-associated lesions in male partners of women affected by CIN.
210 male partners of women affected by CIN were examined in a long-term follow-up (from 5 to 13 years). The diagnosis in females was performed by cytology, colposcopy and histology. Male partners were submitted to clinical examination, peniscopy and biopsy.
111/210 (53%) females had CIN I, 53/210 (25%) and 46/210 (22%) had CIN III. Subclinical lesions were associated with 18%, 28% and 24% of male partners of women with CIN I, CIN II and CIN III, respectively. Clinical lesions were observed in 7% and 10% of sexual partners of women with CIN I and CIN II, respectively. Mixed lesions affected only 3% of sexual partners of women with CIN I.
Our data show that the transmissibility of HPV infection to the male partners of women affected by CIN was easier when there was a lower grade of CIN. In fact, male partners of women with CIN III had a lower percentage (26%) of clinical or subclinical HPV skin lesions.
生殖器HPV感染是最常见的性传播疾病之一。本研究的目的是评估受CIN影响女性的男性伴侣中HPV相关病变之间的相关性。
对210名受CIN影响女性的男性伴侣进行了长期随访(5至13年)。女性的诊断通过细胞学、阴道镜检查和组织学进行。男性伴侣接受了临床检查、阴茎镜检查和活检。
111/210(53%)的女性患有CIN I,53/210(25%)和46/210(22%)患有CIN III。亚临床病变分别与CIN I、CIN II和CIN III女性的18%、28%和24%的男性伴侣相关。在CIN I和CIN II女性的性伴侣中,分别有7%和10%观察到临床病变。混合病变仅影响CIN I女性性伴侣的3%。
我们的数据表明,当CIN分级较低时,HPV感染向受CIN影响女性的男性伴侣的传播更容易。事实上,CIN III女性的男性伴侣中临床或亚临床HPV皮肤病变的百分比更低(26%)。
