[HTML][HTML] A case–control study of betapapillomavirus infection and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in organ transplant recipients
We examined the association between betapapillomavirus (betaPV) infection and
cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in organ transplant recipients. A total of 210
organ transplant recipients with previous SCC and 394 controls without skin cancer were
included. The presence of 25 betaPV types in plucked eyebrow hairs was determined using
a human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA genotyping assay, and antibodies for the 15 most
prevalent betaPV types were detected using multiplex serology. We used multivariate …
