Papillomaviruses are DNA viruses that are susceptible to infection of the skin and mucous membranes, and are common viral infections in humans, categorized into high-risk and low-risk types.
Low-risk papillomavirus infections are categorized into skin and mucous membrane infections and genital infections according to the site of infection. The skin and mucous membranes are characterized by common warts, periungual warts, filiform warts, flat warts, and so on; and the genitals are infected with papillomavirus, which are characterized by papillomatous, cauliflower-like, and so on. Those occurring on the external genitalia as well as around the anus are sexually transmitted diseases.
High-risk papillomaviruses are associated with the development of cervical cancer, with the most common being types 16 and 18. In addition to cervical liquid-based cytology (TCT), papillomavirus is also used as a screening test for cervical cancer.
