Cutavirus was previously found in cutaneous melanoma. We detected cutavirus DNA in only 2/185 melanoma biopsies and in 0/52 melanoma metastases from patients in Germany. Viral DNA was localized in the upper epidermal layers. Swab specimens from healthy skin were cutavirus positive for 3.8% (9/237) of immunocompetent and 17.1% (35/205) of HIV-positive men.
此前已在皮肤黑色素瘤中发现切割病毒。我们在德国的 185 份黑色素瘤活检样本中仅检测到 2 份,在 52 份黑色素瘤转移样本中未检测到病毒 DNA。病毒 DNA 定位于表皮上层。免疫功能正常的男性中,237 例拭子标本中有 3.8%(9/237)为切割病毒阳性,HIV 阳性的男性中则有 17.1%(35/205)为切割病毒阳性。
