ABSTRACT
Cancer of the uterine cervix has been related to HPV infection, based on clinical and laboratory data. The high recurrence rate in couples undergoing treatment for HPV infection points to a probable viral reservoir, either in subclinical lesions or in male internal genital organs. We have evaluated 31 men, all sexual partners of women with HPV infection. Eleven patients (35.5%) had related lesions: 4 (12.9%) with condyloma acuminatum; 5 (16.1%) with lesions revealed by magnified examination after reaction with 5% acetic acid and 2 (6.5%) with condyloma and subclinical lesions. A short-term follow-up confirmed a successful treatment with podophyllin.
