Abstract

Human papillomavirus infections of the genitals are very widespread in the sexually active population throughout the world. Not only cosmetically unattractive skin warts but also genital squamous epithelial carcinomas of both sexes may be caused by human papillomavirus infections. In the past 30 years, this has led to intensive research on human papillomavirus. This paper reviews and evaluates the current literature on the pathomechanism, diagnostics, therapy, risk groups and clinical significance of human papillomavirus in urology and other specialties.
