Investigation of Blood Folate and Vitamin B12 Levels in Women With Human Papillomavirus: A Systematic Review

Listen to this summary

This systematic review investigates the relationship between blood folate and vitamin B12 levels in women infected with human papillomavirus (HPV). The authors found that most studies reported lower folate levels in HPV-positive women, while the association with vitamin B12 was less consistent. They conclude that while there appears to be a link between these vitamin levels and HPV infection, further research is necessary to determine the causal relationship and underlying mechanisms.
