Abstract excerpt
Torquetenovirus load has been proposed as an immunomodulated biomarker of host immune status, yet its behavior in situ within HPV-infected mucosa remains poorly defined. We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study of 220 patients undergoing HPV screening (181 cervical swabs, 39 anal brushings). HPV was genotyped with Allplex™ HPV28, and TTV load was quantified by in-house RT-qPCR and expressed as log10...
