Condylomata acuminata derived from the infection of human papillomavirus is a common sexually transmitted disease. Although T cell-mediated cellular immunity is considered as the main arm against such infection, the regulation of T cell immune responses in genital condylomata is unclear to date. In this study, we analyzed FOXP3(+) regulatory T cells in genital condylomata of patients. The resul...

ETIOLOGY — Condyloma acuminatum is caused by human papilloma virus (HPV) infection. HPV encompasses a family of highly infectious and primarily sexually transmitted double-stranded DNA viruses. The incubation period after exposure ranges from three weeks to eight months. Most infections are transient and cleared within two years [2]. Persistent infections in the setting of other clinical risk f...

Among 237 cases of condyloma diagnosed in Uganda between 1964 and 1975 seven types of lesions were defined. Three of these were found within a wide age range in both young and elderly people, namely, the common (49.4%) and the flat (2.0%) condyloma acuminatum, and condyloma acuminatum of irregular outline (13.5%). Four variants, on the other hand, fell into different age groups. Condyloma acumi...

BACKGROUND Human papillomaviruses, or HPV, are etiologic agents of all types of warts, including those associated with sexual transmission. Although previously rare in children, condylomata acuminata in the mouth have been reported for the past 10 to 15 years, and the possibility of sexual abuse needs to be considered. CASE DESCRIPTION A 4-year-old boy with poor dental health presented with a...

A one year old male child presented with a perianal growth of two months' duration. Clinical and histopathological findings confirmed the diagnosis of condylomata acuminata, which regressed completely following topical treatment with podophyllin.

ISSN 0001-5555 Condylomata acuminata (CA) are sexually transmitted benign warty lesions that usually affect the anogenital epithelium. Low-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, such as HPV type 6 or 11, is associated with the disease (1). These lesions exhibit a small papular, filiform or ...
