Large plantar wart caused by human papillomavirus-66 and resolution by topical cidofovir therapy - 05/09/11
Abstract |
Warts can be difficult to diagnose and to treat in the setting of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. A 37-year-old woman with a background of HIV presented with a large verrucous plaque involving her right foot. Human papillomavirus (HPV)-66 was identified in the lesional skin biopsy sample and in scrapings obtained from her cervix. The wart rapidly responded to topical cidofovir therapy. HPV-66 is a novel HPV type to be associated with verruca vulgaris. Topical cidofovir should be further investigated as an alternative treatment modality for verruca vulgaris.
