About twelve HPV types (including types 16, 18, 31, and 45) are called "high-risk" types because persistent infection has been linked to cancer of the oropharynx, larynx, vulva, vagina, cervix, penis, and anus.
May 20, 2024 · Background. The implications of inherited chromosomally integrated human herpesvirus 6 (iciHHV-6) in solid organ transplantation remain uncertain. Although this trait has been linked to unfavorable clinical outcomes, an association between viral reactivation and complications has only been conclusively established in a few cases.
