The efficacy of cold coagulation therapy in the treatment of histologically diagnosed subclinical human papilloma virus (HPV) infection of the cervix, was studied among 65 patients who also had genital warts. This therapy was found to be successful as the failure rate was only 8%. There were no serious side-effects. The treatment can be administered easily in an out-patient setting after histological confirmation. This study also showed that if, on the other hand, a subclinical HPV infection is not treated, it may develop into a clinical disease (genital warts) within two years. Therefore long-term follow-up of this condition may be necessary in untreated cases.
在65例同时患有尖锐湿疣的患者中，研究了冷凝治疗对经组织学诊断的宫颈亚临床人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）感染的疗效。发现该治疗是成功的，因为失败率仅为8%。没有严重的副作用。经组织学确认后，该治疗可在门诊轻松进行。这项研究还表明，另一方面，如果亚临床HPV感染不进行治疗，它可能在两年内发展为临床疾病（尖锐湿疣）。因此，对于未治疗的病例，可能有必要对这种情况进行长期随访。
