Identification of human papillomavirus, Epstein–Barr virus and cytomegalovirus in paraffin tissues by molecular methods in patients with anogenital warts
The study identified rare EBV and HPV coinfections in AGWs but no CMV positivity. These findings are descriptive, and the small sample size limits generalization. The presence of EBV in immunosuppressed individuals may suggest immunotoxic mechanisms affecting viral persistence in the skin. Further studies with larger cohorts are warranted.
