In human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected women, Bowen's disease may be difficult to treat successfully with surgery alone. Imiquimod cream, effective in treating Bowen's disease in healthy women, may be a useful postsurgical treatment in immunocompromised women.
Two HIV-infected women had both Bowen's disease and severe cervical dysplasia. In both cases, Bowen's disease, but not cervical dysplasia, recurred after surgical treatment. When treated with topical 5% imiquimod cream twice weekly for 4 months, 70-80% reduction in lesions were observed in both patients. Follow-up biopsies of remaining lesions were vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia 1.
Imiquimod cream, in combination with surgical treatment, may be an appropriate strategy for treatment of Bowen's disease in HIV-infected and other immunocompromised women.
在人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染的妇女中,单纯手术可能难以成功治疗鲍文病。咪喹莫特乳膏在治疗健康女性的鲍文病方面有效,可能是免疫功能低下女性术后的一种有用治疗方法。
两名 HIV 感染的妇女均患有鲍文病和严重的宫颈上皮内瘤变。在这两种情况下,手术后,鲍文病而非宫颈上皮内瘤变复发。当用 5%咪喹莫特乳膏每周两次局部治疗 4 个月时,两名患者的病变均有 70-80%的减少。对残留病变的随访活检为外阴上皮内瘤变 1 级。
咪喹莫特乳膏联合手术治疗可能是治疗 HIV 感染和其他免疫功能低下女性鲍文病的一种合适策略。
