The human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common viral sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the United States. External genital warts (EGWs) are a commonly seen clinical manifestation of infection with certain strains of the HPV virus, particularly HPV types 6 and 11. Current treatments for the destruction and elimination of EGWs include in-office, provider-delivered therapy and patient-applied medications. Sinecatechins ointment 15% is the newest FDA-approved patient-applied treatment for EGWs. This article reviews the transmission and clinical presentation of EGWs, describes the use of sinecatechins ointment 15% as one patient-applied treatment option and discusses implications for nurses.
人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）是美国最常见的病毒性性传播感染（STIs）之一。外生殖器疣（EGWs）是感染某些HPV病毒株，特别是6型和11型HPV病毒后常见的临床表现。目前用于破坏和消除外生殖器疣的治疗方法包括医疗机构内由医护人员提供的治疗以及患者自行使用的药物。15%的辛卡利丁软膏是美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）最新批准的患者自行使用的外生殖器疣治疗药物。本文回顾了外生殖器疣的传播和临床表现，介绍了15%辛卡利丁软膏作为一种患者自行使用的治疗选择，并讨论了其对护士的意义。
