Immunotherapy with diphenylcyclopropenone of recalcitrant warts: a retrospective analysis.

چکیده
Sir, Recalcitrant warts remains a major therapeutic challenge for patients as well as for dermatologists, and an effective, painless, atraumatic treatment modality is needed world-wide. Topical immunotherapy has for years been used with some success in the treatment of resistant warts (1). Dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) was the ®rst contact sensitizer to be used but diphenylcyclopropenone (DCP) is today the preferred sensitizer because DCP is non-mutagenic in contrast to DNCB and long-term carcinogenesis is not expected (1, 2). We here present a retrospective analysis of DCP treatment of recalcitrant warts.
