Co-existing of HSV1/2 or EBV Infection with the Presence of High-Risk HPV DNA in Cervical Lesions in the Southwest of Iran.
CONCLUSION: Our result revealed that the frequency of EBV infection is higher in HISL than LSIL. Moreover, the amount of HPV load showed an elevated level among co-infected patients, which indicates that EBV might be an enhancing factor of disease progression. In contrast, HSV may not has a role as a co-factor in cervical lesions pathogenesis.
