Doctors diagnosed an 18-year-old Chinese woman with 18 types of human papillomavirus (HPV), ten of which are high-risk and cancer-causing.
The newspaper "Toutiao" indicated that specialists from the Qianbao Health Center and the Department of Gynecology at Linping Maternal and Child Health Hospital in Hangzhou diagnosed the girl with this large number of human papillomavirus types.
According to the newspaper, the young woman, named Linling, had come to Hangzhou to visit relatives. She had been suffering from pain in her vulvar area and a sensation of a foreign body for more than six months, but these symptoms had recently intensified and were affecting her daily life.
During the examination, doctors discovered a distinctive cauliflower-like skin growth on the vulva, consistent with genital warts, a symptom of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. To determine the specific HPV strain the patient was infected with, doctors conducted a thorough laboratory test, which revealed 18 different HPV subtypes, along with a high viral load and multiple infections.
Ten high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV) have attracted particular attention from doctors, as some are linked to the development of precancerous lesions and cervical cancer. However, detecting high-risk types of the virus does not necessarily mean a person will develop cancer.
After completing the examinations, doctors diagnosed the girl with a multi-type human papillomavirus infection, accompanied by genital warts, and she is currently undergoing treatment.
Doctors point out that human papillomavirus infection often occurs without obvious symptoms, and the subtypes of the virus can only be accurately identified through laboratory tests.
