| Human papillomavirus type-specific risk of cervical cancer in a population with high human immunodeficiency virus prevalence: case-control study. | There are limited data on human papillomavirus (HPV) type-specific cervical cancer risk among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive women. Previous studies have suggested that HPV 16 would be relatively less important as a causative agent among HIV-positive compared with HIV-negative women. This study investigates HPV type-specific cervical cancer risk in a population in which HIV is endemic. At the Central Hospital, Maputo, Mozambique, 221 cervical cancer cases and 203 hospital-based cont ... | 2011 | 21900420 |
| human papillomaviruses in intraepithelial neoplasia and squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva: a study from mozambique. | the infection with human papillomavirus (hpv) has been described as a risk factor for squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva (sccc), although the evidence is conflicting. to assess the relation between hpv infection and intraepithelial neoplasia or sccc, we evaluated archived material from biopsies of the conjunctiva performed at the maputo central hospital (mozambique) in patients with suspected eye cancer. the quality of dna was assessed by pcr using β-globin-specific primers. a total of 2 ... | 2013 | 23752127 |
