Disseminated human papillomavirus type 11 infection in a patient with pemphigus vulgaris: Confirmed by DNA analysis - 24/08/11
Taipei, Taiwan
Abstract |
Depending on the type of epithelium infected, human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are often subclassified as “cutaneous” or “mucosal” types of HPV. HPV type 11 is a mucosal type of virus and infects the genital tract or larynx. Disseminated HPV-11 infection involving multiple body sites in cases of pemphigus vulgaris (PV) has not been reported. We report here an unusual case of severe pemphigus vulgaris associated with disseminated HPV-11 infection on the arms, hands, axillae, chest, abdomen, and both thighs from the genital area, confirmed by the same DNA sequence.
