High-risk HPV DNA found in Breastmilk.

Human DNA papilomavirus-16 (HPV-16) can be detected in breast milk during the initial period of post-childbirth. There is the possibility HPV DNA is transmitted to the baby through mukosa pral at the time the baby breasting. In previous studies, DR.Stina Syrjanen et al from University of Turku, found evidence of HPV transmission vertican from an infected mother to baby. This is to encourage the team to study ways to ensure that prospective trans mission HPV among family members.


In this study, the chain reaction analysis is used to make pilimerase HPV test on kerokan serviks and oral kerokan on 233 mothers, and 87 on oral kerokan father before childbirth, and then 2, 6 and 12 months post-childbirth. It also conducted tests on the wing mobile care taken on the day of the third post-childbirth. High-risk HPV DNA detected in 10 samples of breast milk (4.59%). Sekuensi DNA in 9 samples confirmed that the virus is HPV-16. Figures HPV detection in high-risk sample servikal is 12 - 15%. In the oral sample is the mother of 20 - and 24% in the oral sample father is 21 - 26%. There is no care in the HPB-related high-risk HPV DNA or oral genitak from his mother and his mother's demografik data.

On the relationship of researchers find means to care ngan HPV in high-risk HPV in oral his father, in the months to 6 (risk ratio 3.5: p = 0021) and to 12 months (risk ratio 2.9: p = 0022). It is said that the transmission can be derived from the husband's mouth to the nipple and then from the breast or epitel duktal also currently comes from the hands of the mother.
Clinical implications of the results of this study is that if there is a care in the virus particles, then the baby may be infected with HPV during lactation care. Orofaring is important imunologik and early infection may evoke memories imunologik against HPV, so in the future will happen quickly eradikasi infection to other places.
