Condyloma acuminata represents an epidermal manifestation, associated with the epidermotropic human papillomavirus (HPV). They have been reported as the most common sexually transmitted disease, with prevalence exceeding 50%, increased up to 4 times, within the last two decades, as the most common side of affection are the penis, vulva, vagina, cervix, perineum, and perianal area, with increase...

Genital warts are quite common and should be treated early with nonaggressive conservative or invasive methods. When they are severely neglected patients may be submitted to amputative surgical management. Preoperatively malignant transformation of the tumors cannot be excluded.

Anogenital warts are caused by infection with HPV. There are >100 of these double-stranded-DNA papovaviruses characterised, with most now fully DNA-sequenced. HPV is transmitted sexually in most cases but can also be transmitted prenatally, by auto-inoculation or hetero-inoculation from non-genital warts. Anogenital warts have a 60% transmission rate between partners. Over 95% of genital warts ...

BACKGROUND Decision-makers may consider vaccinating girls and boys with different HPV vaccines to benefit from their respective strengths; the quadrivalent (HPV4) prevents anogenital warts (AGW) whilst the bivalent (HPV2) may confer greater cross-protection. We compared, to a girls-only vaccination program with HPV4, the impact of vaccinating: 1) both genders with HPV4, and 2) boys with HPV4 an...

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...

Seventy-three patients with anogenital warts were randomly allocated to a double-blind comparison of treatment with trichloracetic acid (50%) and podophyllin (25%) versus podophyllin (25%) alone. There was no significant difference in the resolution of warts in the two treatment groups among patients followed for three months. Of patients free of warts at six weeks, treatment with trichloraceti...

OBJECTIVE Only a portion of the US population is willing to consider HPV vaccination to date. The primary aim of this study is to determine the decisional satisfaction associated with HPV vaccination. STUDY DESIGN This is a prospective survey conducted at an urban college where women 18-26 years old completed a decisional satisfaction survey about their HPV vaccine experience. RESULTS Regar...

Since vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) became available, awareness of HPV has dramatically increased. Implementation of a vaccine program varies internationally yet no studies have explored the influence this has on the public's knowledge of HPV. The present study aimed to explore differences in awareness of HPV and HPV knowledge across three countries: The US, UK and Australia. P...
