Colposcopy in the diagnosis of human papillomavirus associated lesions of the cervix

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of HPV among 1419 patients underwent hybridization tests. Diagnosis of HPV infection of the cervix was done by colposcopy, microscopic examination of cytological smear and /or histological section and hybridization techniques. It was evident from the results that each of the different techniques e.g. colposcopy and cytology gave only a partial view on the presence or absence of HPV-DNA and the associated morphological anomalies. Thus, the different analysis techniques were rather complementary than competing

effect of hepatitis B surface antigen in carrier mothers on immunoglobulin E concentration of the newly born

Viral hepatitis is a worldwide major public health problem and transmission of hepatitis B virus from the mother to the infant occurs when the mother is a chronic hepatitis B surface antigen carrier or had acute hepatitis B during pregnancy [Sacher al., 1985]. This study included 2 groups of parturient women at term pregnancy. The first group included 15 women with positive HBsAg and the second group included 30 women negative for HBsAg as a control group. The IgE concentration in the sera of the neonates of the study group ranged from 1.8 to 36 with a mean of 9.7 +/- 8.79 Iu/ml. While the concentration in the control group ranged from 4 to 106 with a mean of 20.0 +/- 20.05 Iu/ml. The levels were significantly lower in the study group than in the control group. This might have a correlation with the future occurrence of allergy later on in life
