Anal cytology in patients with AIDS

Discuss or comment on this article.
The objective of the present study was to study the prevalence of abnormal anal cytology in patients with AIDS. Anal smears, obtained with a cytobrush, of 102 HIV-positive patients of the Emilio Ribas Institute (Sao Paulo, Brazil) were collected, and only after that, the patients were submitted to anoscopy. Thirty-two patients had LSIL and 14 others had HSIL. Squamous intra-epithelial lesions were also observed in 38% of the patients without condyloma (18/47): in 9 of the 33 patients without history of condyloma (27%) and in 9 of the 14 patients who had previously treated condyloma (64%). An invasive squamous cell carcinom...

Clinics in Colon and Rectal Surgery 2009; 22: 094-101DOI: 10.1055/s-0029-1223840ABSTRACTAnal squamous intraepithelial lesions include both low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL) and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) and are caused by chronic infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV). The disease is increasing in both incidence and prevalence, especially among patients with the following risk factors: homosexual men, acquired or iatrogenic immunosuppression, and presence of other HPV-related diseases. Although the natural history of the disease is unknown, there is significant evidence that u...

The objective of this study was to investigate the possible relationship between the presence of anogenital warts (AGW) in children and the sexual abuse as mode of transmission. Our series includes 8 patients with AGW who were treated in our hospital during the year 2007. A complete physical examination was carried out, including colposcopy or anoscopy, and samples were taken for histopathological examination and human papiloma virus (HPV) subtyping. We considered perinatal transmission as a possible route in two cases. Although sexual abuse was definitively confirmed in only one case, we observed some findings in four cas...

Comparison of patient- and clinician-collected anal cytology samples to screen for human papillomavirus-associated anal intraepithelial neoplasia in men who have sex with men.
Email this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: In a community-based sample, a high proportion of HIV-positive and HIV-negative men who have sex with men have AIN. The sensitivity of cytology to detect AIN is higher for clinician-collected versus self-collected specimens and for HIV-positive versus HIV-negative men. The specificity of cytology to detect AIN is higher in HIV-negative versus HIV-positive men. However, the probability of AIN in a patient with a negative cytology result may not be low enough (23% for HIV-negative men and 45% for HIV-positive men with a patient-collected specimen) for clinicians to be comfortable recommending no anoscopy for thos...

Abstract The pursestring suture anoscope, originally developed for the procedure for rectal prolapse and hemorrhoids, has been successfully
used when performing coloanal anastomosis. The use of this tool for handsewn coloanal anastomosis can achieve relatively atraumatic
results to the patient. It is a suitable and handy tool that makes handsewn transanal colonanal anastomosis simple and easy
to perform.

Videoanoscope-assisted stapled haemorrhoidopexy: analysis of 18 patients
Email this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract An optimal stapled haemorrhoidopexy requires the purse-string suture to be placed circumferentially at a constant distance
from the dentate line and to pass through an appropriate thickness of rectal mucosa. An unsuitable purse-string suture may
increase the risk of postoperative complications. We developed a new anoscope (the videoanoscope) to prevent the difficulties
during application of the purse-string suture, and we used the videoanoscope in 18 stapled haemorrhoidopexy procedures. The
videoanoscope is made up of three pieces. The front part is in the form of an open half-cylinder. The second p...

A postal survey was undertaken to determine whether there was any consensus of opinion regarding the management of internal genital warts in genitourinary medicine clinics in the UK. Overall, 110 forms were returned (57% response). The majority of clinics would refer patients with cervical warts for colposcopy especially if the patient was over the age of 25 or HIV-positive. Proctoscopy or anoscopy was performed in 60% of clinics for patients with perianal warts to determine the presence of warts within the anal canal or rectum. Only 24% of patients with intra-anal warts are referred directly to surgery for biopsy, increas...

Conclusions Hybrid-Capture II testing for high-risk human papillomavirus in men who have sex with men with atypical cells of undetermined

Conclusions With a prevalence of 23.81% of subclinical ASIL-ACU lesions, the studied renal graft recipients had all these lesions detected
by high-resolution anoscopy, notwithstanding most anal transition zone acetowhitened biopsied areas did not reveal histopathological
aspects of anal cancer precursor lesions or condyloma acuminatum. Therefore, greater experience with the diagnostic tool was
felt necessary to enhance its positive predictive value, specificity and diagnostic precision.

Conclusions Anal screening for human papillomavirus-DNA by hybrid capture 2 is a useful method for detection of human papillomavirus-associated
disease. Sample collection using Dacron swabs identifies more human papillomavirus-positive patients, and yields higher relative
light unit values than using the cervical brush. Further studies are needed to determine the exact value of hybrid capture
2 in the screening for (pre)cancerous lesions of the anal canal.
