Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <sec id="abs1-1" sec-type="section"> <title>Background</title> <p>Knowledge on human papillomavirus (HPV) genotype distribution in recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is essential to assess the impact of HPV vaccine. It is provided information for Colombia.</p> </sec> <sec id="abs1-2" sec-type="section"> <title>Methods</title> <p>In all, 189 RRP primary cases diagnosed between 1985 and 2009 were identified from 5 pathology laboratories of Cali and Medellin, Colombia. HPV DNA testing in 129 cases that fulfilled inclusion criteria (available paraffin blocks, amplifiable DNA, and confirmed histologic diagnosis of RRP) was performed by the SPF‐10/LiPA25 assay (version 1).</p> </sec> <sec id="abs1-3" sec-type="section"> <title>Results</title> <p>Of all cases 36.1% were juvenile (&lt;12 years old) and a majority of adults were males (<italic>p</italic> = .09); 95% of cases were HPV positive. HPV 6, 11, and 16 contributed to 69%, 27.1%, and 7.8% of all HPV positive cases. Twelve cases (9.3%) showed multiple infections; 8 of these were HPV 6 or 11 positive.</p> </sec> <sec id="abs1-4" sec-type="section"> <title>Conclusions</title> <p>HPV prophylactic vaccine including HPV 6 and 11 may have a major impact against RRP. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
