Abstract
PRADO-PELAEZ, Jimena Guadalupe; HERNANDEZ-PACHECO, Iván; RUVALCABA-LEDEZMA, Jesús Carlos and CERUELOS-HERNANDEZ, María del Carmen Alejandra. HPV: general, prevention and vaccination. JONNPR [online]. 2021, vol.6, n.2, pp.283-292. Epub Oct 16, 2023. ISSN 2529-850X. https://dx.doi.org/10.19230/jonnpr.3767.
Aim.
To document the generalities, prevention and treatment of human papillomavirus infection.
Material and methods.
Relevant information was collected, original research articles, clinical trials, and reviews in indexed journals, to know the generalities of the human papilloma virus, pro HPV infections and cervical cancer and what are the prevention measures.
Results.
Human papillomavirus or papillomavirus are a group of DNA viruses that belong to the Papillomaviridae family, without envelopes, and have a diameter of 52-55 nm. Viral particles are composed of a protein capsid, made up of 95% by the L1 protein and 5% by the L2 protein, which are assembled to form icosahedral capsomeres.
Conclusions.
The importance of vaccination resides in the primary prevention that is carried out against HPV infections, however, this action goes beyond just preventing infection, it is avoiding an injury that is a precursor to CACU. The introduction of the HPV vaccine into the Mexican vaccination scheme, not only impacts on the prevention of CACU and HPV infection, it also supposes the protection of the pocket of the families, which in this way would avoid a catastrophic expense for CACU. This would mean non-positive results.
