[A comparative evaluation of treatment methods for a genital papillomavirus infection in women with different viral genotypes]. / Sravnitel'naia otsenka nekotorykh sposobov lecheniia genital'noi papillomavirusnoi infektsii u zhenshchin s razlichnymi genotipami virusa.

Such genotypes of human papilloma virus (HPV) as "malignant" (180), "benign" (49) and indeterminate (127) were identified in 356 females by PCR and cytological procedures. The following therapeutic techniques were compared: cryodestruction of the uterine cervix (60), antiviral medication (AVM) (19), combination of AVM and cryodestruction (224), and combination of AVM and laser destruction (54). In the "malignant" HPV group, AVM in conjunction with cryo- or laser destruction was significantly more effective than cryodestruction or AVM alone. Both cryodestruction alone and in combination with AVM were more effective in treating "benign" genotypes. Repeat courses showed the same tendency.
