O05. 1 High Grade Anal Intraepithelial Neoplasia: One Virus, One Lesion

Abstract:

Background Prevention and treatment of anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN) in HIV+ men who have sex with men (MSM) is subject of discussion. Knowledge on causative HPV types is crucial in understanding AIN and in vaccination studies. However, data on AIN-specific HPV are limited and whole tissue sections (WTS) often show multiple HPV infections. In this study, we analysed whether WTS and subsequent laser capture micro-dissection (LCM) with HPV PCR genotyping accurately detects type-specific HPV DNA in individual areas of high grade (HG)AIN. Methods 31 WTS with HGAIN of 21 HIV+ MSM were analysed by the SPF10 PCR/LiPA25 (version 1) HPV genotyping system. In case of multiple HPV types, PCR was repeated in selected areas of AIN, isolated by LCM. Results WTS PCR showed a single HPV type in 17 (55%). In the remaining 14 WTS sections with multiple HPV types, PCR was repeated in …
