The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was employed to detect human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 and 18 in cytological samples from the uterine cervix and in urine samples from the male consorts. HPV 16 was detected in 2 (25%) of 8 males whose wives were positive for HPV 16, while it was detected in only one (7%) of 14 consorts whose wives were negative for HPV 16 and 18. This is the first report of the detection of HPV 16 in urine. Viral detection in urine samples by the PCR method is a non-invasive, convenient and useful tool for large-scale epidemiologic studies and investigations of the mechanism of virus transmission.
