Human papilloma virus (HPV) infections are common and cause a variety of mainly wart-like lesions of the skin and mucous membranes, ranging from the common wart to pre-cancerous and cancerous changes. The prevalence of infection in the general population is 30-50%. This highly illustrated atlas is a diagnostic and treatment guide for physicians who regularly see and treat HPV-related lesions. It will therefore be valuable for dermatologists, gynecologists, urologists, otolaryngologists, opthamalogists, and pathologists. Typical HPV-induced lesions and their differential diagnoses are described in detail and are illustrated by about 600 high-quality color photographs, many of them in large format. The histological appearances of various types of HPV infections are also shown using clearly captioned microphotographs. The chapters are organized according to the organ system involved, with separate chapters explaining and illustrating the wide variety of available treatment modalities, and their beneficial and adverse effects. This atlas has been edited by Professor Gerd E. Gross, Director of the Department of Dermatology and Venereolgy of the University Hospital Rostock, Germany, and Dr. Renzo Barrasso, Chief of the Colposcopy Unit of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Bichat University Hospital, Paris, France.
