Human papillomavirus (HPV) viral load and HPV type in the clinical outcome of HIV‐positive patients treated with imiquimod for anogenital warts and anal intraepithelial neoplasia

Abstract: The assumption that visible perianal warts are benign lesions in HIV-positive patients has to be reevaluated since an important number of such lesions could correspond to low-grade anal disease, which in turn could progress to high-grade anal disease or cancer. In addition, our results in this preliminary study indicate that imiquimod appears to be effective in treating AIN in HIV-positive patients. Further studies are needed to document its utility to prevent high-grade dysplasia and/or anal cancer.

“…Case-control studies of women with cervical cancer and their husbands have shown that men's sexual behavior affects women's risk of cervical neoplasia, even after controlling for female sexual activity (3,4). HPV-16 viral load may be an important factor in the natural history of HPV in men as it may determine risk of infection persistence and subsequent disease in men and transmission to women (5)(6)(7).…”

“…(2,(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21) Já, comparando o tratamento tópico convencional (podofilina) com o imiquimode, observou-se a mesma efetividade em relação ao índice de cura, porém, com maior custo do segundo. (22) Os condilomas acuminados anogenitais tratados com imiquimode mostraram remissão entre 74 e 84%, sendo completa entre 25 e 77% dos doentes.…”

(1,2,20,23,24) Em imunocompetentes, atingiu 50 a 64% de resposta completa com até 16 semanas de tratamento e 13% de recidivas.

“…1 A aplicação do imiquimod entre oito e 20 semanas mostrou remissão entre 74% e 84%, sendo completa entre 25% e 46% dos doentes, 2,18-20 não estando associada às contagens séricas dos linfócitos T CD4+ 21 ou às cargas virais do HPV ou do HIV. 20 Outro estudo relatou 55% de recidivas, a maioria no canal anal e relacionada aos HPV oncogênicos. 2 O 5-fluorouracil a 5%, na forma de creme, tem os mesmos resultados, porém, apresenta o inconveniente da irritação local.…”
