Abstract
The aim of this study was to molecular identification of HPV genotypes in genital wart patients in their blood samples in Babylon province-Iraq. This work was applied on (40) genital wart patients admitted to the outpatient department of Dermatology and Venereology in Merjan Medical City, Hilla-Iraq and private clinic during the period from November (2013) to March (2014). The patients consist of (16 males and 24 females) with their age range (2-48) years, while (20) apparently health controls which consist of (males and females) with age range approximately matched to genital wart patients. Blood samples were collected from both patients and controls to identify the genotypes of HPV by molecular methods by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The results of this study showed (15%) positive for HPV genotypes. The positive results of HPV genotypes were (high risk group) for this virus.
