چکیده
Actas Dermosifiliogr. 2008;99:157-69 163 Genital warts are the most frequently observed form of HPV infection and, to date, only 1 double-blind phase II clinical trial has been published on the use of topical cidofovir.9 In that trial, 47% of the 19 patients in the group treated with cidofovir had a complete response with no important side effects reported. This percentage is similar to those obtained with other topical treatments, such as imiquimod and podophyllotoxin.10 This case supports the suggestion that topical cidofovir provides an effective alternative to patients with genital warts resistant to conventional therapies. However, clinical trials are required to determine the efficacy and safety of topical cidofovir in cutaneous lesions caused by HPV.

متن کاملZosteriform dermatoses-A review
The zosteriform distribution of cutaneous lesions is a common disease pattern in dermatology. It describes a unilateral girdle-like distribution restricted to the sensitive nerve territory of a dermatome. Three different pathogenic pathways can lead to a zosteriform pattern. The neural pathway uses the axons of a nerve ganglion for viral transport to a specific dermatome. The arche type is Herp...
