In Northern Ireland in 1984 anogenital warts were diagnosed in 592 (352 male, 240 female) genitourinary medicine clinic attenders. Of these patients, 561 were heterosexual, 28 homosexual and three male bisexual. In the male patients 290 had penile warts, 67 meatal warts, 59 perianal warts, 25 anal canal warts and five rectal warts. In the female patients, 193 had vulval warts, 27 vaginal warts,...

BACKGROUND In the treatment of multiple warts, there is no single treatment that is 100% effective and different modalities of treatment need to be combined. AIM To evaluate the efficacy of homologous autoimplantation therapy in the treatment of multiple warts. METHODS A total of 60 patients of multiple verruca vulgaris and palmo-plantar warts were enrolled. Homologous autoimplantation was ...

Patients and clinicians experience the frustration of cutaneous viral warts caused by infection with the human papilloma virus (HPV).Warts appear in various forms on different sites of the body and include common warts (verruca vulgaris), plane or flat warts, myrmecia, plantar warts, coalesced mosaic warts, filiform warts,periungual warts, anogenital warts (venereal or condyloma acuminata), ora...

Warts are skin growth caused by human papilloma virus infection. These can be solitary, multiple, smooth, or cauliflower like and usually treated with topical application of medication surgical excision procedures. Homoeopathy plays an important role in treating warts.

OBJECTIVE To compare the expression of keratin (K) 13 and K19 in cutaneous warts of renal transplant recipients (RTRs) and immunocompetent individuals (ICIs). DESIGN Retrospective, nonrandomized immunohistochemical study. PATIENTS AND METHODS Specimens from cutaneous warts of RTRs and ICIs were retrieved from the archives of the Department of Pathology, University Medical Center St Radboud,...

OBJECTIVE Our aim was to test a new cryosurgical wart treatment, dimethylether (Histofreezer), for clinical effi-cacy in newly diagnosed cases of genital warts. METHODS All patients of the gynecology clinic of a teaching hospital who were at least 12 years of age and who had between one and eight external genital warts were eligible. Treatment occurred at the initial visit and at follow-up vi...

Hippo signalling controls organ growth and cell fate by regulating the activity of the kinase Warts. Multiple Hippo pathway components localize to apical junctions in epithelial cells, but the spatial and functional relationships among components have not been clarified, nor is it known where Warts activation occurs. We report here that Hippo pathway components in Drosophila wing imaginal discs...

BACKGROUND Warts are very common in primary schoolchildren. However, knowledge on wart epidemiology and causes of wart transmission is scarce. OBJECTIVES To determine the prevalence of warts in primary schoolchildren and to examine the relation with environmental factors in order to provide direction for well-founded recommendations on wart prevention. METHODS In this cross-sectional study,...
