High Prevalence of Genital Human Papillomavirus Infection in Patients With Primary Immunodeficiencies
BackgroundGenital human papillomavirus (HPV)-infections are common in the general population and are responsible for relevant numbers of epithelial malignancies. Much data on the HPV-prevalence is available for secondary immunodeficiencies, especially for patients with human immunodeficiency virus (...
