چکیده
HPV: human papillomavirus INTRODUCTION Sustainability of transplanted organs requires lifetime immunosuppressive treatments. Resulting immune deficiency leads to an increased risk of viral infections and virus-induced tumors. Human papillomavirus (HPV) skin infections are the most common in such cases. More than 80% of patients suffer from warts 5 years after the transplant. Unlike lesions in immunocompetent hosts, these warts rarely respond to usual treatments. We report a case of plantar warts in an immunocompromised patient, resistant to multiple therapies, treated successfully with ingenol mebutate cream.
