The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a type of human herpesvirus, classified under the Herpesviridae family.
Recently, Seth-Frerich Fobian and colleagues published a systematic review titled "Increased human papillomavirus viral load is correlated to higher severity of cervical disease and poorer clinical outcome: A systematic review" in the Journal of Medical Virology. The findings suggest that HPV viral load is correlated to clinical outcome, and may become an important biomarker for treatment selection and response monitoring for cervical cancer.
Recently, a team led by Wang Qing and Ding Jingxin from the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital affiliated with Fudan University published a study titled " Factors associated with the persistence of human papillomavirus after surgery in patients with cervical cancer". The study investigates the rate of human papillomavirus (HPV) persistence after surgery in patients with cervical cancer and analyzes the factors associated with HPV persistence and viral load after surgery.
Every day, over 1 million adults aged 15-49 are estimated to contract one of four curable STIs
On June 15, 2024, the world observes World Dengue Day, raising public awareness about dengue fever.
Persistent infection with high-risk HPV is the main cause of cervical cancer. There have been numerous reports on the relationship between high HPV viral load and DNA methylation with high-grade cervical lesions. However, the changes in persistent HPV infection, epigenetics, and viral load in low-grade cervical lesions and non-lesions remain unclear.
Recent evidence shows increased preterm birth risk with human papillomavirus-16 (HPV16)infection during pregnancy. Researchers from Canada, led by Khayargoli, P. et al., published the study titled "Association between Human Papillomavirus 16 Viral Load in Pregnancy and Preterm Birth," aiming to measure the association between HPV16 viral load and preterm birth.
A recent study explores the impact of single and multiple HPV infections on CIN2/3 and SCC, providing us with new insights.
To comprehensively understand the interaction between HPV and TV, Kelvin Stefan Osafo, at Fujian Maternity and Child Health Hospital (the first author), has reviewed the harm caused by TV and HPV co-infection on cervical and vaginal epithelia.
In the 2023 edition of the "Chinese Cervical Cancer Screening Guidelines (Part 1)," the utilization of HPV DNA load testing as a screening method has been integrated.
