“…Neither age of patient nor the sexual activity duration were important. HPV infection diagnose is usually made in women through the customary cervic-vaginal cythologic smear (2,3,5). In this study, the most part of the teenagers went in for examination due to modified oncotic cythology and only 20% presented macroscopic condylomatose injuries in the external genitals.…”

“…Since 1982 a high increase in the infections diagnose has been experienced, based on the great number of cytologic, colposcope and histopathological examinations of the uterine coli injuries (1,7). According to Biro and Hillard (1990) the infection by HPV, even being frequent in teenagers, only 10% of the cases are symptomatic.…”

“…Cervical citologies in this group of women, show infection evidence by HPV or rates varying from 1% to 28%, according to different surveys. In colposcope assessment, 5% to 10% of the teenagers show some condyloma type (3,7,8,13,14). Infection by HPV is very important today due to its association with the uterine coli carcinoma, showing a great prevalence in Latin America, appearing about 20 years after the first infection by HPV (4).…”

“…On the other side, teenagers sexually active are particularly vulnerable and it is probable that epithelial neoplastic alterations starts just around this age. A better knowledge of the sub-clinical manifestations and the HPV infective behavior may help to establish therapeutic and correct following of young patients presenting condyloma (3,8,9,10,12).…”

This research studies the association of the cervical condyloma with the intraepithelial neoplasia, during sex activity, pregnancy, diagnose methods, cytology and colposcopy in teenagers. The objective of this research is to study the propaedeutics for the uterine coli condyloma diagnose in a group of teenagers. For this purpose, we have studied 131 teenagers sexually active with ages between 14 and 19 years and presenting histologically confirmed uterine coli condyloma. Association with intraepithelial neoplasia, sexual activity duration, method of diagnose, pregnancy analysis, cytology and colposcopy results and association with vulva and vagina injuries were evaluated. The high association rate with condyloma and intraepithelial neoplasia after a short time of sexual activity and the none presence of macroscopic warts in the genital organs in 80% of cases presenting cervical condyloma, demonstrate that: a more careful investigation with colposcopy and biopsy of the inferior genitals of the women-teenagers sexually active is needed, when presenting modified cervical cytology.

“…Colposcopic visualization of the genitalia helps to identify abnormal areas that may require biopsy. The infection is commonly multicentric; lesions may be identified diffusely throughout the genital area 59. 65,66 Male partners of affected females are usually infected but frequently not evaluated.…”

Adolescents have the highest rate of sexually transmitted disease (STD) of any sexually active age group. This article reviews the biological, psychological, and social factors that place adolescents at increased risk for STDs. The major STDs are reviewed, including epidemiology, clinical presentation, methods of diagnosis, and treatment modalities. In addition, major sequelae of STDs--including pelvic inflammatory disease, perihepatitis, Reiter's syndrome, and disseminated gonorrhea infection--are discussed.
