[Morphologic criteria in genital herpesvirus infections. Their value in diagnosis, their place in therapeutic indications].

A series of 155 observations has been made of uterocervical intraepithelial neoplasias treated by conization and examined by serial section. From the data obtained the author shows that colposcopic and microlposcopic criteria can be used to give a good evaluation of the participation of viruses of the HPV group in the histogenesis of infra-clinical lesions of the uterine neck. The specificity of the colposcopic and microcolposcopic method seems equal to that of exfoliative cytology, and its sensitivity is greater. Increased application of colposcopy and microcolposcopy is recommended in the screening of infraclinical lesions of the uterine neck.
