Case Study on Human Papillomavirus Teresa Dominguez LaTasha Hardy Francisca Mata
Case Study Overview • 25-five-year-old carpenter • Several hyperkeratotic papules (warts) on • Palm inside of index finger • Do not change size • Cause only minimal discomfort • Spontaneously disappear after a year
What are Warts? Non-cancerous skin growths in the epidermis Caused mostly by HPV-1, 2 and 4 Usually skin-colored and feel rough to the touch Several types: Common warts Foot (planar) warts Flat warts
Fig. 1 HPV infecting the epidermis Fig. 2 More extreme case of common warts.
Question I Will this virus infection spread to other body parts? Transmission via contact Infection of basal cells of epidermis Breach in the skin predisposing factor There is a possibility of spreading warts to other parts of your body through breaks in the skin.
Question II After its disappearance, is the infection likely to be completely resolved or persist in the host? Immunocompetent persons: Once infected with a specific HPV type, it is unlikely Immunosuppressed persons: Can present with numerous treatment resistant warts Recurrent infections with same HPV type
Question IIIWhat viral, cellular, and host conditions regulate the replication of this virus and other HPV’s? • The Virus • icosahedral particle, 72 capsomers • Closed, circular dsDNA computer colorized EM image of Papillomavirus capsid Genomic organization of HPV-16
DNA Replication • Replicates and assembles in the nucleus • Dependent on: • transcription is tightly regulated by the differentiation state of the infected epithelial cell
QIV:How would the papilloma type causing this infection be identified? What is known
Detection Methods • Clinical Recognition • PCR and RT-PCR • PCR Cloning and Sequencing • Standard enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) • Histological Analysis
QV: Is it likely that this type of HPV is associated with human cancer? This type of HPV is not associated with human cancer HPV-2 (hand warts) Common skin wart Does not cause genital warts Not associated with development of cancer
15 classified as “high-risk” HPV Strains: • 16,18,31,33,35,39,45,51,52,56,58,59,68,73, &82 • 16 & 18 cause 70% of cervical cancers • 2 types of cervical cancer (squamous cell cancer and adenocarcinoma)
HPV and Cancer • Anal cancer, vulvar cancer, penile cancer, and throat cancer • 3 classified as probable high-risk (HPV-26,53, &66) • 12 classified as “low-risk” (HPV-6,11,40,42,43,44,54,61,70,72,81, &CP6108)
