## Abstract The natural history of highโrisk human papillomavirus (HRHPV) infection after successful treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) is not well known. This study was performed to evaluate the rate and pattern of HRHPV infection clearance after successful conization for CIN an

โฆ Synopsis
Although human papillomavirus (HPV) is involved in the etiology of cervical carcinoma, there are no cervical carcinoma-specific HPV serologic tests available. We investigated the presence of broadly cross-reactive IgA antibodies to papillomavirus (PV) in cervico-vaginal secretions from patients with condylomata and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Purified bovine PV (BPV) virions were used as antigen in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Forty-two women whose ages ranged from 20 to 50 participated in the study. Eight of 9 patients with C I N had IgA antibodies against PV in their cervical secretions. Three of 9 patients with koilocytosis and condylomas but no C I N had IgA antibodies to PV. Six of 24 women with normal Pap-smear and colposcopy also had IgA antibodies against PV in their cervical secretions. The proportion of IgA-positive cervical secretions was significantly higher in the CIN group than in the normal group (p<O.O05).
Our data suggest that IgA antibodies to PV may be a useful marker for CIN.
