Lesões induzidas por papilomavírus humano em parceiros de mulheres com neoplasia intra-epitelial do trato genital inferior Papillomavírus-induced lesion in partners of womem with intraepithelial neoplasia of the lower genital tract
Abstract
RESUMO Objetivos: pesquisar a presença de lesões induzidas por papilomavírus (HPV) e os fatores associados em parceiros de mulheres com neoplasia intra-epitelial genital. Métodos: foram avaliados 337 homens por meio de citologia uretral, peniscopia e biópsia, quando necessário. Analisou-se a presença de lesão induzida por HPV correlacionando-a com a idade, escolaridade, tabagismo, estabilidade conjugal, início da atividade sexual, número de parceiras, antecedente de doença sexualmente transmissível (DST), postectomia, imagens peniscópicas e grau das lesões nas mulheres. Resultados: a peniscopia foi positiva em 144 homens (42,7%) e 105 (31,2%) apresentaram lesões induzidas por HPV. Somente o tabagismo, a estabilidade conjugal menor ou igual a seis meses e o antecedente de mais de uma parceira sexual estiveram associados com a presença de lesão induzida por HPV (pPurpose: to evaluate risk factors and papillomavirus (HPV) associated lesions in male partners of women with genital intraepithelial neoplasia. Patients and Methods: three hundred and thirty-seven men were evaluated by urethral cytology, peniscopy, and biopsy, if necessary. We analyzed the results and the relations to age, educational level, smoking, contact time with the present partner, age at first intercourse, number of partners, previous sexually transmitted diseases (STD), circumcision, peniscopic findings, and female lesion grade. Results: peniscopy was positive in 144 (42,7%) and HPV infection was diagnosed in 105 (31,2%). Smoking, contact time with the present partner up to 6 months, and more than one previous sexual partner were associated with HPV lesions (p<0,05). The urethral cytology was suspect in 4,2% and smoking, positive peniscopy or biopsy and partners of women with high-grade lesion (p<0,05) were associated with the diagnosis. 72.1% of 229 biopsies were positive, independently of the peniscopic findings and women's lesion grade. Conclusions: HPV infection was diagnosed in 31.2% and was associated with smoking, contact time with the present partner up to 6 months and more than one previous sexual partner, but not with the female lesion grade, educationa level, previous STD, circumcision and peniscopic findings.
