Introduction:The most widespread viral infection of the urogenital tract, papillomavirus infection is the cause of precancerous lesions and HPV-related cancers of various sites. Although in young women, the majority of lesions caused by HPV cause no symptoms and improve spontaneously, the permanent presence of HPV in the organism can lead to an oncological disease developing. With regard to this, the possibility of human papillomavirus reinfection throughout life and the presence of multiple HPV types in one female patient, which inevitably increases the risk of HPV-associated precancerous diseases developing in young women, too, are especially relevant.Objective of the research: optimization of the management tactics of HPV-positive young women by using interferon alpha and tetravalent vaccine. Materials and methods:The research involved female patients aged 16 to 25 infected with human papillomavirus. The groups under comparison underwent observation, vaccination with tetravalent vaccine, and the use of interferon alpha-2b combined with vaccination. Results and conclusion:The research has shown that the management tactics of HPV-positive young women including the use of interferon alpha and tetravalent vaccine helps increase the extent of elimination of the virus and prevents relapses of the viral infection and HPV-associated diseases as compared to female patients from the comparison groups.
Due to hormonal and immune response changes, pregnancy contributes to their adverse stimulating effect on the progress of already existing hyperplastic processes in the cervix. The resulting aggravation of severity in their clinical course and intensity of the pathological process relatively frequently leads to precancerous conditions and cervical cancer developing further on. Some authors note the upward trend in the number of pregnant women having been diagnosed with pre-cancer and cancer of the cervix, as women postpone their maternity decisions increasingly more often. Currently, the tactics of managing pregnant women with cervical dysplasia consists in dynamic observation, including cytological study, colposcopic assessment of the state of surface cervical epithelium taking into account physiological particularities which are characteristic of pregnancy. The use of interferon therapy in pregnant female patients with HPV-associated cervical neoplasia is also expedient owing to its positive effect for reducing the CIN progression frequency, the probability of infecting the fetus with human papillomavirus, and the frequency of perinatal complications. Methods: The study involved pregnant women in their second and third trimesters of gestation who have been diagnosed with cervical neoplasia (L-SIL, H-SIL). In comparison groups, behavior of cervical neoplasia was monitored against the background of the therapy conducted with interferon alpha-2b or without treatment. Results: Against the background of the therapy conducted with interferon alpha-2b drug, higher frequency of the pathological process improving and lower frequency of its progressing into more severe dysplasia forms have been registered in the pregnant women with HPV-associated cervical neoplasia. However, it must be noted that efficiency of the treatment is higher in the group of pregnant women with L-SIL than in the H-SIL female patients. Conclusion:In managing the CIN pregnant women, it is expedient to prescribe interferon therapy systemically and topically in the form of gel (Viferon®) which allows reducing inflammation, viral load, ensuring regression of L-SIL and stabilization of H-SIL.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
