Clinical Aspects of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Infection
Chapter
Abstract
There is a longstanding causal connection between condylomata, including genital warts, and papillomavirus infection. On the cervix, the wart can often be recognized with the naked eye. On colposcopy, it is not restricted to the transformation zone. Its presence on the cervix often means that wart lesions exist elsewhere in the genital tract.
