Viral warts are benign proliferations of the epithelium caused by human papilloma virus (HPV) infection. Diverse therapeutic options are available for viral warts, depending on extension and severity of the disease. We report a case of a 19-year-old man who presented with multiple viral warts on hands and feet for 5 years. He was treated at other clinics before visiting our hospital, but there was no improvement. We treated the lesions with a combination therapy of systemic acitretin and diphenylcyclopropenone (DPCP) immunotherapy for 6 months. A significant improvement was observed during the 12th week of therapy. Herein, we report a case of recalcitrant viral warts showing complete regression when a combination therapy of oral acitretin and immunotherapy was administered.
病毒疣是由人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)感染引起的上皮良性增生。根据疾病的范围和严重程度,病毒疣有多种治疗选择。我们报告一例19岁男性,其手足出现多发性病毒疣5年。在来我院就诊前,他曾在其他诊所接受治疗,但未见改善。我们采用全身性阿维A与二苯基环丙烯酮(DPCP)免疫疗法联合治疗这些损害6个月。在治疗的第12周观察到显著改善。在此,我们报告一例顽固性病毒疣患者,在给予口服阿维A与免疫疗法联合治疗后完全消退。
