Abstract: A newly developed general primer-mediated polymerase chain reaction technique (PCR) was used to analyze human papillomavirus (HPV) in 177 specimens of genital warts and cancers.The results:HPV DNA sequences were found in 98% (98/100) genital warts,83% (10/12) PIN M,80% (12/15) CIN Ⅲ 80% (16/20) penile squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and 90% (27/30) cervical SCC' Of the cases that contain viral DNA,Ⅲ HPV-6,11 were detected in 95% (93/98) genital warts,and HPV-16 in 88% (38/43) genital SCC.These results indicate:(l) PCR is a useful approacll for detecting HPV in dysplastic and SCC suspected of having an HPV aetiology,(2) In Chongqing area,HPV-6,11 and HPV 16 are the prevalent HPV types iii benign and malignant genital lesions respectively

Key words: Human papillomavirus, Polymerase chain reaction
