Abstract
Previously, we had reviewed 43 cases of invasive cancers, adenosquamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma for HPV type infections. With the same cases we extended the investigation to cytomegalovirus (CMV) and herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections. Results show that the prevalence of CMV and HSV infections from these cases of cervical carcinoma was 67 and 76%, respectively, by polymerase chain reaction. The results of the analysis of the association of HPV, CMV and HSV with various clinical characteristics of cervical cancer patients indicated that the correlation between HSV infections and clinical stages of squamous carcinoma was marginally significant (P = 0.068). HSV infections seemed to have a higher association with cell keratinization pattern as compared with the other two viral infections.
