| cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and human papillomavirus infection among senegalese women seropositive for hiv-1 or hiv-2 or seronegative for hiv. | studies in various regions of the world have shown that women infected with hiv-1 are at increased risk for cervical human papillomavirus (hpv) infection as well as for cervical cancer precursor lesions. hiv infection and cervical cancer are both widespread in west africa, but little is known about the relationship between hpv and hiv-2, which is the predominant type of hiv in the general population of many west african countries. to address this issue, we collected cervical samples for cytology ... | 1994 | 8061090 |
| hiv-1, hiv-2, human papillomavirus infection and cervical neoplasia in high-risk african women. | to determine the effect of hiv-1 and hiv-2 infection on the prevalence of cervical human papillomavirus (hpv) and squamous intraepithelial lesions (sil) in a population of high-risk women in senegal. | 1996 | 8728046 |
| pcr-rflp-detected human papilloma virus infection in a group of senegalese women attending an std clinic and identification of a new hpv-68 subtype. | cancer of the cervix is the most common malignant tumor among women in africa and, in particular, senegal. studies of the prevalence of human papilloma virus (hpv) infection in africa have mainly focused on carcinomas. data on the presence of the virus in women with normal cervical cytology are scarce. in this study, 158 cytologically normal women who had been referred to the 'institut pasteur de dakar' (senegal) for various genital complaints were investigated for the presence of hpv on exfolia ... | 1999 | 10567840 |
| prevalence of specific types of human papillomavirus and cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions in consecutive, previously unscreened, west-african women over 35 years of age. | previous studies among women worldwide have demonstrated that infection with specific types of human papillomaviruses (hpv) is central to the pathogenesis of cervical neoplasia. there is little data, however, concerning the prevalence of specific hpv types and the association of each type with cervical neoplasia among women in sub-saharan africa, who remain at very high risk of cervical cancer. we studied 2,065 consecutive patients aged 35 years or older, presenting to community health clinics i ... | 2003 | 12516102 |
| [study of codon 72 of p53 gene as a risk-factor in cervical cancer in senegal]. | beside human papilloma virus infection, several genetic factors have been involved in susceptibility to cervical cancer. the arginine allele at codon 72 in p53 tumor suppressor gene has been reported to be a risk-factor in different ethnic groups. our aim was to study this polymorphism as a risk-factor in senegal. we conducted a case-control association study by recruiting 30 patients with cervical cancer clinically followed up in the curie institute in dakar, and 93 healthy female controls with ... | 2014 | 25025520 |
