Background: Condylomata Acuminata (CA) is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) type-specific and may be simultaneously co-infected with other HPV types associated with malignancy. Purpose: To differentiate between CA and histopathological of malignancy by immunohistochemistry. LiteratureReview: CA refers to benign epidermal proliferation caused by the HPV types 6 and 11, but co-infection with high- risk HPV types are common. The clinical presentation of CA can’t differentiate between benign or preneoplastik diplasia lesions. Koilocytes considered pathognomonic for HPV lesions, these findings sometimes don’t appear on CA, and histopathology was not accurate, that immunohistochemistry with MIB-1 (Ki-67) and p16 can beused. Conclusion: Immunohistochemistry examination can help differentiate the diagnosis between malignancy or non- malignancy in the case of CA.

Directed Information

Aim: to understand the feelings of women infected with the human papilloma virus (HPV) regarding this sexually transmitted disease. Method: this is an exploratory study, with a qualitative approach, performed with 14 women who are users of a specialized care service in the municipality of Juazeiro do Norte, in the Brazilian state of Ceará, in the Northeast of Brazil, between March and June 2012, using the Collective Subject Discourse technique. Results: it was observed that there were some misconceptions regarding HPV, unfamiliarity with the fact the therapies used do not eliminate the virus, feelings linked to negative characteristics of the diagnosis, and self-protecting and children-protecting attitudes. Conclusion: the perceptions described tend to harm the empowerment process of these women to deal with the illness with more confidence. Gaps were found in health education. The discussion about the topic must continue, with directed information regarding living with HPV in a singular approach, respecting the individuality of each woman, providing more humane and effective care.

Parents And Children

Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) affects many members of the community. To better educate the community in a participatory manner, engaging those outside of the health care arena is necessary. To prevent the spread of the disease in the United States, reaching the parents of children at the vulnerable age of 9–11 years of age is critical. The barriers to education of parents and children around the spread of a sexually transmitted disease are vast and difficult to overcome. However, the use of proven vaccinations give healthcare providers and community advocates the main tool for prevention of the spread of the disease. It is often taboo to discuss anything related to sexual promiscuity or sexual activity in the United States in the public schools. The biggest myth includes the fear parents and grandparents have is that if HPV is talked about, then the child may become sexually active sooner. This myth needs to be challenged with science and reality including taking on the those vehemently opposed to vaccines, known as “Anti-Vaxers” that obstruct vaccine education. The strategies utilized in public health outreach to the community should be reviewed and uniquely developed for each diverse community to overcome the challenges in the prevention of HPV.

Work Up

Condyloma acuminata is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). During pregnancy, condyloma acuminata can proliferate rapidly due to changes in immunity and increased blood supply. One of the safest therapeutic modalities is trichloroacetic acid (TCA). Electrocautery is another modality in pregnant patients. A 16-year-old woman, 6-months pregnant, complained of a wart-like lump in the pubic area getting more prominent since the last two weeks and covering the vagina surface. The lump is not itchy and painless. From history-taking it was found that patient often changes partners. On physical examination, the lesions were multiple papules with a verrucous surface. The results of the work-up showed a positive acetowhite test. Patients are then treated with a TCA of 80-90% during pregnancy and followed by electrocautery and excision during cesarean section. The results of 80-90% TCA treatment followed by electrocautery and excision were satisfactory, and there were no recurrences when the patient went for a follow-up. TCA is a substance that is caustic and can erode skin and mucous membranes. TCA works by coagulation of proteins which causes dryness of cells and tissues. TCA is safe for pregnant women. Combination of TCA 80-90% with electrocautery and excision, in this case, proved to be effective with no sign of recurrence. The combination of TCA therapy with electrocautery and excision has proven effective and safe for pregnant patients.
