Clinical significance

The HPV test detects, depending on the type, the presence of genetic material - from twoóch to thirty-seven genotypesów of the human papilloma virus, or HPV. Currently, more than 120 typesów of HPV virus are known. These viruses can be divided into two groups: - low-oncogenic (low-risk) viruses: among them the most common are HPV types 6, 11 - high-oncogenic (high-risk) viruses: among them the most common are HPV types 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58 and 59 There is no 100% method to cure HPV infection, but taking the test will allow you to take appropriate prophylaxis to prevent the development of cervical cancer. The HPV test is recommended for: - for women and men, between the ages of 15 and 25 - when the peak of HPV infections occurs - when screening is performed in women over 30 - when we verify abnormal cytology results - after treatment for cervical dysplasia and cervical cancer - when recurrent inflammation of the dróg of the genitals (urethritis, gastritis or epididymitis in men) - during pregnancy (massive infection of the genital dróg with HPV can be transmitted to the baby and cause congenital papillomatosis of the larynx) Most people infected with HSV are not aware of their infection. The first lesions usually appear within 2 weeks after infection with the virus. During the first case of herpes, signs such as a second outbreak of sores and flu-like symptoms, i.e. fever and enlarged lymph nodes, may appear. However, most people who have HSV may never see ulcers, or they may have very mild symptoms that theyóll not even notice or may mistake them for an insect bite or other skin irritation. Typical symptoms include: - fever, headache and muscle pain - painful blisters and ulcers at the site of infection (e.g., mouth, genital area, anus or rectum) - sores on the genitals (blisters may be "hidden" in the vagina) - irritated and swollen glands or lymph nodes In untreated individuals, the lesions and ból usually pass within 3-4 weeks. The sores are usually healed spontaneously, but the virus will never disappear, it will remain forever in the human body in a dormant form, causing no symptomsów. The virus can znów become active and cause new lesions. This is called recurrent herpes.
