Abstract

Human papilloma virus is commonly seen in sexually active adolescent girls. In most of the cases viral infection clears spontaneously within a limited time but persistent infection causes development of precancerous lesion or cancer around the female genitalia. Nowadays HPV vaccine is used to prevent unwanted dysplasia or cancer development throughout the gynecological tract. Our aim is to summarize the nature of the HPV infection especially in adolescence and take attention to HPV vaccines with the purpose of cancer prevention.

ADÖLESANLARDA HPV ENFEKSİYONU VE HPV AŞILARI

Abstract

Human papilloma virus HPV enfeksiyonu özellikle cinsel aktif hayatın başlangıcındaki adölesanlarda oldukça yaygın olarak görülmektedir. Çoğu olguda spontan regresyon görülmesine rağmen persiste enfeksiyon varlığında takip eden yıllarda servikal, vaginal, vulvar ve anal bölgede prekanseröz lezyon ve sonrasında kanser oluşumuna yol açtığı bilinmektedir. Günümüzde HPV aşıları, HPV enfeksiyonuna bağlı istenmeyen etkilerin önlenmesi amacıyla kullanılmaktadır. Bu yazıda HPV enfeksiyonunun doğal süreci, adölesanlardaki seyri ve HPV aşıları hakkında genel bilgilerin verilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
