Transience of cervical HPV infection in sexually active, young women with normal cervicovaginal cytology

Human papillomavirus DNA was detected in cervical specimens from 366 sexually active young women with cytomorphologically normal cervices using the polymerase chain reaction. In 93% (25/27) of initially infected women, the same viral type was not detected upon re-examination four menstrual cycles la...

Zusammenfassung:	Human papillomavirus DNA was detected in cervical specimens from 366 sexually active young women with cytomorphologically normal cervices using the polymerase chain reaction. In 93% (25/27) of initially infected women, the same viral type was not detected upon re-examination four menstrual cycles later. These results suggest that the majority of HPV infections in young women are transient.
