Cause of Condyloma: Although genital warts are caused by human papilloma virus (HPV), many more people are infected with the virus than have warts. While HPV infections are not reportable as a sexually transmitted disease (STD), there is no question that they are indeed sexually transmitted.
HPV is a papillomavirus containing double-stranded DNA. It is the same shape as the herpesvirus. It does not appear to be blood-borne. Because some condyloma spontaneously disappear, as do some common body warts, it is clear that a large role in the infection is played by the individual patient’s cell-mediated immunity.
About 30$ of women who have HPV of the cervix, as diagnosed by Pap smear, go on to develop cervical dysplasia. It is clear that some forms of dysplasia and cervical cancer are caused by HPV.
Recently, researchers have been typing HPV; there are now over 45 known HPV types. Of these, HPV type 6 and type 11 involve the genitals in about 10% to 15% of cases. HPV types 16, 18, 31 and others are found mainly in cervical, vaginal and vulvar carcinoma.
