Sažetak
Anogenital warts (condylomata acuminata) are the most common HPV-induced lesions presented in men, however, during the last decade the other HPV-associated entities such as condylomata plana, penile, scrotal, and anal intraepithelial neoplasias, as well as the penile, urine bladder and prostate cancer have been studied a little bit more extensively. Consistent studies are still lacking for male population. Over the last twelve years, different diagnostic tools have been used for the patients with HPV genital infection including pathohistology and peniscopy in some cases. We wanted to evaluate the significance of viral tests (PCR, hybridization) for HPV-induced, clinically visible lesions. According to our results, HPV 16 and 18 have been isolated (PCR) from “ benign" HPV-associated genital lesions (anogenital warts) in 20% of patients, i.e. more than it is usually expected. Therefore, the diagnostic approach to HPV genital infections needs to be complex including HPV DNA typing whenever it seems appropriate. We definitely consider HPV detecting and typing of male genital HPV lesions as important part of the diagnostic procedure, treatment, follow-up, and, most recently, prevention of the HPV-genital infections.
