Abstract

HPV virus infections and other promotion factors in the development of carcinogenic process at 101 girls from different social groups were evaluated. Chronic infection of the cervix was found at the group of 56 smoking girls, aged 15-18, having sexual contacts with many partners. 10 of them were infected by HPV virus. These data indicate that particular health care and widely understood cervical carcinoma prophylaxis in such groups are necessary.
