“…They reported an oral HPV infection prevalence of 10.7% (high-risk HPV prevalence of 6.4%) at baseline in 636 people who were β-globin positive. In our study, the most prevalent HPV types at baseline were those associated with Heck disease (multifocal epithelial hyperplasia; 207/910, 23% of the HPV types found)—a relatively benign and rare condition caused by oral HPV 13 or 32 infection that is more prevalent among Indigenous populations [ 33 - 35 ]. Clinically, Heck disease presents as soft, distinct, mostly multiple, and smooth papules or nodules having the same color as the surrounding mucosal epithelium (a “cobblestone” appearance), predominantly affecting the lower and upper labial mucosa and tongue.…”

“…HPV 16 is an etiological factor in cervical cancer (5,40) due the expression of E6 and E7 oncoproteins that enhance the cell cycle in the upper epithelial layers of the cervix (41)(42)(43), which, in some cases, can stimulate the proliferation of infected basal cells and eventually lead to neoplasia (12). These viral proteins are able to bind and inactivate the tumor suppressor genes such as p53 and retinoblastoma (Rb), among others, resulting in increased survival and proliferation to induce immortalization of cervical cells (44,45).…”

“…A study in Mexico showed a prevalence of oral HPV infection of 12.1%. 51 Unfortunately, the absence of data by state makes it difficult to incorporate this variable in this type of study at this time. However, prophylactic vaccines may be useful in the prevention of squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity associated with HPV, but prospective studies on this topic are lacking.…”
