Caracterização clínica e histopatológica e tipagem do papilomavírus humano das verrugas vulgares nos receptores de transplante renal / Clinical and histopathological characterization and typing of the human papillomavirus in common warts of kidney transplant recipients

Os pacientes receptores de transplante renal apresentam elevada prevalência de lesões cutâneas por HPV. Foram estudados 20 receptores de transplante renal com diagnóstico de verruga vulgar. A detecção do HPV foi realizada pela polimerização em cadeia (PCR) com os primers MY09/MY11 e RK91. A tipagem do HPV foi feita por meio da restrição enzimática e do sequenciamento automatizado. Identificamos a presença do HPV em 10 pacientes (50 por cento) e os tipos identificados foram: HPV-2, 27, 29, 34 e 57.

The prevalence of skin lesions caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) is high in kidney transplant patients. Twenty recipients of kidney transplants with a diagnosis of common warts were evaluated. HPV detection was performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using the MY09/MY11 and RK91 primers. HPV typing was performed by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis and direct sequencing. The presence of HPV was identified in 10 patients (50 percent) and the types identified were HPV-2, 27, 29, 34 and 57.
