Human papillomavirus (HPV) is classified into high-risk HPV (HR-HPV)
and HPV (LR-HPV) according to their oncogenic potential. These viruses
can be found in the cervix, vagina, vulva, anus and in the ENT sphere. HPV
ENT infections can lead to benign or malignant tumors in which we could
find both LR-HPV and HR-HPV genotypes. The objective o(...)
