摘要：

Acetowhite lesions in the vulva disclosing koilocytosis have been related to infection by human papilloma virus (HPV). Because of the clinical resemblance of these lesions to oral hairy leukoplakia (OHL), and EBV-manifestation, 23 women with acetowhite koilocytotic lesions in the vulva were examined. The PCR-technique was used to detect EBV DNA as well as HPV DNA in 17% of 23 patients examined. In a control group of 19 patients EBV DNA was detected in 11% and HPV DNA in 42% of cell samples from normal vulvar mucosa. EBV DNA has not previously been demonstrated in the vulvar mucosa, and this virus might be related to subclinical acetowhite lesions.
