Anogenital warts are a common cause of morbidity affecting mainly the productive age group of the economy. Paucity of data in Nigeria necessitated this study.
The pathology records of anogenital warts diagnosed in the Department of Pathology, Ahmadu Bello University Zaria between 1(st) January 2000 and 31(st) December 2009 were reviewed.
A total of 68 warts were diagnosed within the study period with anogenital warts constituting 39.7%. Majority of cases (62%) were in the 20-39 years age group (range: 5-50 years) and vulva was the most common site affected.
Genital warts are common in our environment, biopsy of suspicious lesions is recommended for diagnostic yield.
肛门生殖器疣是一种常见的发病原因,主要影响经济活跃年龄段人群。尼日利亚缺乏相关数据,因此开展了本研究。
回顾了2000年1月1日至2009年12月31日期间在阿哈穆杜·贝洛大学扎里亚分校病理科诊断的肛门生殖器疣的病理记录。
在研究期间共诊断出68例疣,其中肛门生殖器疣占39.7%。大多数病例(62%)年龄在20 - 39岁之间(范围:5 - 50岁),外阴是最常受累的部位。
在我们的环境中,生殖器疣很常见,建议对可疑病变进行活检以提高诊断率。
