Human Papillomavirus, Condylomata Acuminata, and Anal Neoplasia

ABSTRACT

Genital human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is an increasingly common sexually transmitted disease. This virus causes condylomata acuminata and is associated with anal neoplasia. Management options are discussed.

KEYWORDS

Human papillomavirus - condylomata acuminata - anal neoplasia
