Oral Human Papillomavirus Infection: New Challenges for a New Era?
Dimitrios ANYFANTAKIS, Emmanouil K. SYMVOULAKIS, Adelais MARKAKI and George RACHIOTIS
Dr Kreimer and colleagues (1) in their interesting cohort study assessed epidemiological patterns of oral HPV infection among healthy men in Brazil, Mexico, and USA. A new oral oncogenic HPV infection was more likely to occur in men reporting current or former smoking habit as well as in those who were single, divorced or widowed (1).
