19 Sexually Transmitted Infections
Fig. 19.11 Perianal condyloma due to HPV infection
• Patients with warts within the anal canal may have a history of receptive anal intercourse, but not necessarily.
• Symptoms may include pain, pruritus, dis­comfort, or bleeding, depending on the loca­tion and size of the warts.
• Patients with HIV infection or another source of immunosuppression are more likely to develop genital warts, and these warts are less likely to respond to treatment and more likely to recur.
• The high-risk HPV types can cause invasive squamous cell cancers of the anus.
– Squamous cell carcinoma occurs more fre-
quently in patients who are immunosup­pressed, especially in patients who are coinfected with HIV.
– Disturbances in the peripheral immune
function in the anal mucosa may explain this increased risk to progress to invasive anal cancer.
Testing
• HPV testing can be used to screen women for cervical cancer, but screening for HPV is not indicated for men, sex partners of women with known HPV, adolescent women, or for other HPV-related malignancies such as anal cancer.
• As certain high-risk populations such as HIV­positive MSM have seen a rise in incidence of invasive anal squamous cell carcinoma, screening programs to detect precursor lesions
273
have been developed to prevent progression to invasive cancer.
• Liquid-based anorectal cytology specimens are the preferred specimen type to screen for high-grade anal dysplasia.
• Self-collected samples are less sensitive than clinician-collected samples.
• Patient with positive ndings should be referred to a specialist for high-resolution anoscopy or routine anoscopy and monitoring.
Treatment
• The indication to treat anogenital warts is to relieve symptoms.
• Untreated genital warts may self-resolve or worsen.
• Treatment does not affect the risk of transmis­sion of HPV.
• External genital warts can be treated in a vari­ety of ways (Table19.3).
– Patients may apply their own treatment at
home using podolox solution or gel, imiquimod cream, or sinecatechins ointment.
– Provider-administered options include
cryotherapy, podophyllin resin, or trichlo­roacetic or bichloroacetic acid.
– Patients with extensive genital warts may
warrant surgical management.
• Anal condyloma– including warts in the anal canal and the distal rectum – can be treated with cryotherapy, TCA or BCA, or surgical therapy.
• High-resolution anoscopy may be indicated to inspect for high-grade dysplasia as well.
• The management of high-grade anal dyspla­sia, the precursor to invasive squamous cell carcinoma, remains a controversial topic.
• While some clinicians view ablation or destruction of high-grade dysplasia as an important strategy to prevent progression to invasive cancer, others disagree with this approach.
• Patients with high-grade intra-anal dysplasia who undergo ablation have recurrence rates of about 50% overall (higher in HIV-positive patients) but a low risk of developing anal cancer.

Vaccine
• The two HPV vaccines available are the biva­lent vaccine, which protects against high-risk oncogenic HPV types 16 and 18, and the quadrivalent vaccine which protects against HPV types 6, 11, 16, and 18 and should be given before one become sexually active.
• Both are approved for girls and boys aged 9–26years old.
• The quadrivalent vaccine has been shown to reduce the rates of high-grade anal dysplasia among MSM and may help to reduce the risk of anal cancer.
HIV andAIDS
Epidemiology
• Over 1million people in the USA have HIV, and over half of those infected are MSM.
• A quarter of those patients reported high-risk sexual practices such as unprotected sexual intercourse with a casual partner or sex in exchange for money or drugs, and almost half of those patients reported using noninjection drugs over the past year.
Testing
• HIV screening is recommended for all patients who present for STI testing.
• Positive screening tests for HIV antibody require conrmatory testing before a diagno­sis can be made.
• If patient is suspected of having acute HIV infection, then a nucleic acid test should be performed in addition to the antibody test, and the patient should be referred immediately to an infectious disease specialist.
• The FDA has recently approved combination tests detecting both HIV antigen and antibody, as well as tests that differentiate HIV-1 from HIV-2.
– Fissures in HIV-positive patients may be a
manifestation of HIV but could also repre­sent coinfection with other STIs such as HSV or syphilis.
– Treatment of ssures in patients with HIV
should consist of the same treatment under­taken for ssures in the general population.
• Anal ulcers are another source of anal pain in patients with HIV and are located in a more proximal location within the anal canal– often above the dentate line– and are broader and more ulcerative than ssures.
• Perianal abscesses and stulas are common in patients with HIV or AIDS.
– Patients with well-controlled HIV and nor-
mal CD4 counts who develop abscesses and stulas can be treated with the same surgical techniques as one would do for patients without HIV.
– However, abscesses in patients with AIDS
should be treated with smaller incisions, favoring drain placement over larger incisions.
– Fistulas in patients with advanced or poorly
controlled AIDS should be treated with placement of draining setons rather than stulotomy to avoid the creation of a non­healing wound.
• External thrombosed hemorrhoids and symp­tomatic internal hemorrhoids in patients with HIV or AIDS should be treated in the same manner as those occurring in patients without HIV.
• Hemorrhoidectomy is safe in HIV-positive patients without AIDS; patients with advanced or poorly controlled AIDS and severe hemor­rhoids not amenable to banding may have wound healing problems.
Molluscum Contagiosum
Anorectal Issues
• Anorectal complaints such as pain due to s­sures may be the presenting symptom of patients with HIV infection.
• Molluscum contagiosum is a common cutane­ous viral infection caused by the molluscipox virus, causing small, waxy, dome-shaped umbilicated papules (Fig.19.12).

275
• Curettage, excision, and cryotherapy are the most common methods of treatment.
• These treatments should not be per­formed in patients with immunosup­pression due to the risk of nonhealing wounds and superinfection with other bacterial, viral, or fungal organisms.
• For these patients topical treatments such as imiquimod 5% cream may be helpful with­out incurring the risk of open surgical wounds.
Pubic Lice: Phthirus pubis
• It is second only to genital warts as the most common non-ulcerative STI, affecting up to 5% of the population, 18% of patients with immunosuppression, and 30% of patients with advanced AIDS.
• Secondary bacterial infection may occur espe­cially if patients tend to scratch the lesions.
• Mollusca contagiosa occur frequently in young children, but their occurrence in adults is usually considered an STI and involves the pubic area.
– Risk factors include shaving. – Transmission occurs through skin-to-skin
contact, and autoinoculation can also occur to spread to other sites.
– Sexual contact can lead to transmission
from the genitalia to the oral mucosa, con­junctiva, and cornea.
• Diagnosis can be made by visual inspection although if there is difculty, then dermatos­copy revealing orices, vessels, and specic vascular patterns can help conrm the diagnosis.
• A recent PCR test has been developed as well for the molluscum contagiosum virus.
• Immunocompetent patients will self-resolve these lesions over a period of months to years, so most patients prefer treatment.
– Treatment consists of removal of the
lesions, similar to the treatment of genital warts.
• Pubic lice are obligate blood-sucking para­sites, and infestation is diagnosed by nding lice on pubic hair (Fig.19.13).
• As lice can neither jump nor y, transmission is due to close contact.
• Therefore, the diagnosis of pubic lice should prompt testing for other STIs.
Fig. 19.13 Pubic lice infestation causes severe pruritus and can be treated with permethrin 1% cream. (Photograph courtesy of Stephen Goldstone, MD)
276
• The increased incidence of pubic hair removal has been associated with a lower incidence of pubic lice infections due to destruction of their natural habitat.
• The CDC recommends permethrin 1% cream or pyrethrins 0.3%/piperonyl botuxide 4% cream as rst-line therapy for pubic lice.
• Alternative regimens include malathion 0.5% lotion or oral ivermectin.
• Laundering clothes and bedding in hot water should be done as well to prevent reinfection and transmission.
Scabies
• Scabies is caused by the mite Sarcoptes sca­biei var. hominis.
• Scabies transmission is via skin-to-skin con­tact, as the mites neither jump nor y.
• Scabies most commonly occurs in young chil­dren but can also occur in patients subject to overcrowded conditions, poor hygiene, and homelessness and via sexual contact.
• The mites burrow into the skin, creating wavy scaly lines on the skin surface, usually located on the hands and feets, typically in nger webs.
• The infestation causes an intense pruritic rash localized in a characteristic distribution in the armpits, elbow creases, wrists, and groin areas (Fig.19.14).
• Infants, children, and immunosuppressed patients may develop a more severe vesicular and pustular rash.
• Diagnosis can be made by visual inspection and history.
• Skin scrapings of the burrows, papules, and vesicles can be performed by applying min-

eral oil to the skin and scraping laterally across the lesion with a scalpel and examining the scraping microscopically for mites, eggs, and fecal pellets.
• First-line treatment of scabies is with topical permethrin 5% cream, which is rather effec­tive as there is not much resistance.
• Reapplication of the cream should be per­formed 1week later to ensure eradication.
• Oral ivermectin can also be used as rst-line therapy or second-line therapy if the perme­thrin cream does not work.
• Clothing and bedding should be washed in hot water and dried in a hot dryer to prevent re­infestation and transmission.

Anal Intraepithelial Neoplasia

RoccoRicciardi

Key Concepts
• Anal intraepithelial neoplasia is a dysplastic condition of the squamous tissue and is con­sidered to be a premalignant stage of anal cancer.
• The histological ndings and cellular abnor­malities mirror cervical dysplasia.
• Anal cytology is a useful method to identify anal neoplasia in high-risk groups.
• When cytology is concerning, the evaluation of anal neoplasia can proceed with anal cytol­ogy and high-resolution microscopy, a tech­nique similar to colposcopy.
• A targeted approach to dysplasia ablation through microscopy is more of tissue sparing than the historically practiced wide local exci­sions and ap advancements.
• Treatment should be tailored to the patient’s degree of dysplasia, risk factors, immune sta­tus, continence, symptoms, and likelihood of progression.

Introduction

• Anal intraepithelial neoplasia is a dysplastic condition of the squamous tissue and is

considered to be a premalignant stage of anal cancer.
• Anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN) is further stratied into three grades: AIN I, AIN II, and AIN III, dened as low-, moderate-, and high­grade dysplasia, respectively (Fig.20.1).
• The histological ndings, including the cyto­logic changes, mitotic activity, nuclear mem­brane changes, and cellular abnormalities, mirror cervical dysplasia grading.
• Terminology can be confusing as anal intraep­ithelial neoplasia is referred to by many names including anal dysplasia, intraepithelial carci­noma, intramucosal carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma in situ, and Bowen’s disease.
• In addition, recently the terms high-grade (HGAIN) and low-grade (LGAIN) anal intraepithelial neoplasia have been proposed that correspond to AIN III/II and AIN I, respectively.
Symptoms
• The vast majority of individuals will experi­ence no outward manifestation of human pap­illomavirus (HPV) infection, and similarly most patients with AIN have no clear symptoms.
• As AIN progresses to anal cancer, symptoms become more frequently reported.
– 50% of patients with invasive cancer
describe pain and bleeding.

• Anal intraepithelial neoplasia develops from HPV contact generally through direct exposure.
• It is estimated that there are more than 100 subtypes of HPV but not all have been impli­cated as disease causing.
• About 90% of all patients remain asymptom­atic, and those that have infection resolve without any treatment within 2years.
• A small number of patients develop persis­tent asymptomatic infections, while a smaller number of patients will develop condyloma.
• It is unclear why a fraction of patients develop neoplasia in the form of AIN that then may progress to squamous cell cancer.
• Explanations for why the virus causes condy­loma or neoplasia in some patients but not in others are speculative.
lation, and/or potentially concomitant infections such as other sexually transmit­ted infections.
– Among HPV subtypes, types 6 and 11,
cause 90% of genital warts as compared to those subtypes that are associated with can­cer (i.e., types 16, 18).
• HPV, the causative exposure to AIN, is quite prevalent in both the developed and develop­ing world.
– Estimates indicate that at any point in time,
1in 10 women worldwide harbors the HPV virus.
– Prior to the introduction of the HPV vac-
cine, there had been a steady rise in the rate of HPV infections across the nation and the globe.
– However, with the introduction of the HPV
vaccine, prevalence of HPV types 6, 11, 16,

and 18 identied by cytology specimens decreased by over 50% among teens and young women.
– Genital wart cases appear to have decreased
since 2011, presumably because of increased vaccination (Fig.20.2).
• Incidence data characterizing trends of HPV infection and condyloma are easily obtain­able, yet it is unclear whether the rate of AIN has changed in the last several years.
– There are no public records, and cancer
surveillance data do not record incidence or treatment of dysplastic lesions.
• National cancer incidence data do reveal that the rate of anal cancer has been increasing for several years; new anal cancer cases have been rising on average 2.2% each year over the last 10years.
– The number of new cases of anal cancer
was 1.8 per 100,000 people per year based on 2007–2011.
– Slightly more common in women than in
men.
• Much of what is known regarding the transfor­mation of AIN to squamous cell cancer has been extracted from the cervical cancer literature.
– Precursor high-grade squamous intraepi-
thelial lesions.
– Integration of the viral genome into the
host occurs in order to produce genetic change.
– Viral oncogenes are then ultimately respon-
sible for directly coupling to oncogenic enhancers and promoters permitting con­tinued expression through integration and immortalization.
– Phenotypic changes of the squamous
epithelium.
– One of the most frequently reported
changes in chromosomal structure is a gain in the long arm of chromosome 3q.
– Following incorporation of the viral
genome into host DNA, cellular changes and atypia of squamous tissues occur.
• Ultimately these changes correspond to AIN I which then can progress to AIN II and AIN III and ultimately dedifferenti­ate into squamous cell cancer.
• It is unclear whether the development of anal neoplasia must traverse all these steps or if squamous cell cancer can skip one or more phases, i.e., from AIN I directly to AIN III.

Cytology
R. Ricciardi
Screening/Surveillance
• Most patients at risk for anal neoplasia undergo screening with digital rectal examina­tion, anal cytology, and anoscopy.
– Anal cytology is akin to cervical cytology,
providing cellular material for review of intraepithelial lesions.
– The cytology must be performed before
any instrumentation of the anus and before lubrication is used.
– The procedure is performed with a moist
swab in the anal canal and without any preparation.
– Following completion, a digital rectal
examination and anoscopy can be performed.
• The anal cytology smear is graded by a cytolo­gist with the same classication used in gyne­cologic samples.
– Anal cytology may return as insufcient,
normal, atypical squamous cells of unde­termined signicance, low-grade squa­mous intraepithelial lesion, high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, or anal cancer.
– Based on these results and prior medical
history, the recommendation is either con­tinued surveillance or more detailed evalu­ation with high-resolution anoscopy.
• Lesions classied as atypical squamous cells of undetermined signicance or higher are generally referred for high­resolution anoscopy.
• However, a large number of patients have abnormal cytology results lead­ing to a considerably large popula­tion of patients to evaluate in microscopy.
• In addition, given that the sensitivity of anal cytology ranges from 69% to 93% and specicity ranges from 32% to 59%, results can be difcult to interpret.
• It is important to remember that anal cytology in high-risk cohorts such as men who have sex with men has false­negative rates of up to 23% in HIV-negative patient and 45% if HIV-positive.
• Therefore, close follow-up of all high­risk patients is likely to be the best strat­egy (see Fig.20.3).
• Dening the population that is high-risk and requiring evaluation is challenging because of societal and other behavioral concerns.
• Overall, the risk of anal neoplasia is highest in immunosuppressed individuals as they appear to have great difculty in clearing the virus from their body.

• Rates of anal dysplasia in HIV-infected patients of all sexual risk groups are substan­tial indicating some value for anal cancer screening in all HIV-infected patients regard­less of sexual practices.
• The immunosuppressed group should also include those with organ transplants as well as other medically induced suppressive conditions.
• Men who have sex with men and a concomi­tant diagnosis of HIV pose the greatest risk of HPV-related illnesses and thus anal neoplasia.
• One of the highest risk groups is women with a past history of cervical, vulvar, vaginal, or perineal neoplasia.
• The proximity of the anus to the vulva may explain why patients with vulvar neoplasia were at highest risk for anal cancer, yet the increased risk with in situ neoplasia was also remarkable.
• Thus, patients with gynecologic neoplasia, and especially vulvar neoplasia, should be fol­lowed closely for potential anal cancer development.
• Individuals with a past history of sexually transmitted infections may also represent an important screening population.
– A past history of condyloma is generally a
sign of prior contact with human papillomavirus.
– At this time, it is unclear whether those
individuals who tend to develop condy­loma (without any sign of dysplasia) have a tendency to develop benign warts rather than cancer.
• The value of anal cancer screening is difcult to quantify.
– Screening HIV-positive homosexual and
bisexual men for anal dysplasia with anal cytology offers quality-adjusted life expec­tancy benets at a cost comparable with other accepted clinical preventive interventions.
– Others have not come to the same conclu-
sion indicating that many of the criteria for assessing the need for a screening program were not met for anal neoplasia screening
and that cost-effectiveness remained unacceptable.
– The lack of concordance for these models
may be related to the lack of agreement with uncertainties in modeling clinical sce­narios in the face of poor evidence.
– At this time, a review of 30 regional and
national guidelines for screening in HIV patients revealed that only 2 societies rec­ommended digital and anorectal examination.
• The “European AIDS Clinical Society Guidelines” recommends digital exami­nation every 1–3years for HIV-positive men who have sex with men.
• In NewYork State, the Department of Health has recommended annual anal cancer screening for HIV-positive men who have sex with men, HIV-positive patients with history of condyloma, and HIV-positive women with history of gynecologic neoplasia.
• However, the US Guidelines for the pre­vention and treatment of opportunistic infections in HIV-infected adults and adolescents recommended only an annual digital examination for the HIV­positive population in general.
Diagnosis
• Most patients are diagnosed with anal neopla­sia through investigation with digital rectal examination, anal cytology, anoscopy, and/or endoscopy.
– The sensitivity of digital rectal examina-
tion in identifying anal neoplasia is fairly low as many AIN lesions are not palpable.
– Anoscopy is routinely performed by colon
and rectal surgeons and can be used to identify macroscopic areas of AIN, which often appear to be benign condylomata, but may return with AIN on biopsy (Fig.20.4).
– In addition, endoscopic identication of
AIN occurs quite commonly during endos­copy, particularly during the retroexed view of the anus.
282

– Last, a large number of patients are identi-
ed with anal dysplasia on cytologic evalu­ation during routine screening.
• During diagnostic evaluation, it is imperative to remember that patients with AIN should have a complete and thorough history and physical examination.
• It is important to remember the link between anal dysplasia with other HPV-related dis­eases such as oral cancer, gynecologic neopla­sia, and other genital lesions.
• Following examination of the entire body, the evaluation of AIN can proceed with anal cytology and high-resolution microscopy, a technique similar to colposcopy of gyneco­logic neoplasia.
– The colposcopic appearance of variable
grades of anal squamous intraepithelial lesions is similar to those described for the cervix.
– In high-resolution anoscopy, a colposcope
or other microscope is used to examine the anal verge and anal canal in close detail.
– No bowel or anorectal preparation is neces-
sary, and the procedure is most commonly performed without analgesia.
• After positioning, the tissues to be examined are swabbed with a 3–5% acetic acid solution for 2–5min.
– The acetowhitening from acetic acid with
microscopic assistance is sufcient to iden­tify dysplastic tissues.
R. Ricciardi
– The entire anal canal and anal verge should
be examined, but we nd that dysplastic tissues are most commonly found within the transition zone, as this area has the greatest area of susceptible and immature squamous tissues.
– Dysplastic epithelium will absorb acetic
acid and appear scaly white as compared to columnar tissues.
– The characterization of dysplastic tissue
and differentiation of AIN I, II, or III can then be performed without biopsies and in real time under high magnication.
– Dysplastic tissues are characterized by
scaly white plaques and with greater disar­ray of vascular patterns, the higher the grade of dysplasia.
– We also nd that high-grade dysplasia
tends to be quite friable when in contact with the anoscope or a swab (Fig.20.5).
• Some colposcopists choose to add an iodine­based Lugol’s solution to further assist with the detection of dysplastic tissue.
– The mechanism for Lugol’s utility is that
only healthy epithelial tissue absorbs the compound which causes normal tissue to appear wood-like.
– Dysplastic tissues do not absorb the solu-
tion leaving these tissues with a yellowish hue.
