| risk factors for cervical human papillomavirus and herpes simplex virus infections in greenland and denmark: a population-based study. | risk factors for genital human papillomavirus (hpv) types 6/11 and 16/18 and any hpv type as well as for herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) infections were investigated in a population-based study of 1,600 randomly selected women (20-39 years) from godthåb (native, nuuk), greenland, and nykøbing falster, denmark. a total of 586 greenlandic women and 661 danish women were included, respectively. they all had a personal interview and a gynecologic examination with cervical smear and swab for hpv ... | 1990 | 2156420 |
| human papillomavirus, herpes simplex virus and cervical cancer incidence in greenland and denmark. a population-based cross-sectional study. | in greenland, the incidence of cervical cancer is 5.7 times higher than in denmark among women aged 20-39. from nuuk (greenland) and nykøbing falster (denmark) a sample of 800 women aged 20-39 years was drawn at random. a total of 586 and 661 women were investigated in greenland and denmark respectively. all women had a gynecological examination including a pap-smear and cervical scrape for hpv-analysis (filter in situ hybridization). a blood sample was taken for analysis of hsv type-specific an ... | 1988 | 2833450 |
| human papillomavirus, herpes simplex virus and other potential risk factors for cervical cancer in a high-risk area (greenland) and a low-risk area (denmark)--a second look. | the prevalence of human papillomavirus (hpv) infection and other risk factors were studied in a high risk area for cervical cancer (greenland) and in a low risk area (denmark). from nuuk (greenland) and nykøbing falster (denmark), random samples of 150 women aged 20-39 years were drawn. a total of 129 and 126 women were included in greenland and denmark, respectively. the proportion of hpv infected women assessed by virapap was similar in denmark and greenland (4.8 vs 3.9%). when type specific p ... | 1993 | 8385982 |
| seroreactivity to hpv16 virus-like particles as a marker for cervical cancer risk in high-risk populations. | sexually transmitted genital human papillomavirus (hpv) infection, most often hpv 16, is considered the major etiologic determinant of cervical cancer. however, some studies have found relatively low prevalences of genital tract hpv dna in some geographical areas, such as greenland, that have high rates of cervical cancer. we sought to evaluate hpv 16 infection in high-risk cohorts using a serologic assay that assesses prior exposure as well as current infection and to compare the results with t ... | 1996 | 8980170 |
