Identifikasi Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) Tipe 6 dan 11 pada Lesi Skin Tag dengan Tehnik Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)

Abstract

Background : Recently many theories develop related to the mechanism of skin tags occurrence. Infection of human papilloma virus ( HPV ) is suspected as one of the causes of skin tag lesion. HPV is an epitheliotrophic virus that affects cell proliferation and causes skin lesions such as cutaneous warts, laryngeal papilloma, genital condyloma. The first study to find the correlation between HPV and skin tag conducted by Dianzani, that identified HPV in 88 % of skin tags lesions by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. Objective: To identify HPV type 6 and 11 in skin tag lesion by PCR technique Methods: : This study is a descriptive study with cross sectional design involving 30 skin tags lesion. Skin tag lesion will performed PCR examination to identify HPV type 6 and 11. Furthermore the collected data then processed and presented descriptively. Result : In this study we found 8(26, 7%) skin tag lesions identified with HPV type 6 and 6(20%) skin tag lesions identified with HPV type 11 Conclusion: Totally from 30 lesions of skin tags were examination with PCR technique, 14 ( 46, 7%) lesions identified with HPV type 6 and 11
