Saint Louis polyomavirus (STLPyV) was recently discovered in human feces. Using random-primed rolling circle amplification combined with deep sequencing, we have found a divergent variant of STLPyV in a sanitized human skin wart specimen. The result strongly suggests that STLPyV directly infects humans and is not simply a dietary contaminant.

background: several regimens of therapy were recommended for the treatment of genital wart with different efficacies. the purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of podophylin 20% versus trichloroacetic acid 30% in the treatment of genital wart.methods: this randomized clinical study was conducted on 120 cases with genital wart. they randomly received podophylin 20% or trichloroacetic...

Imiquimod (IQ) has been successfully used in treatment of genital warts. In clinical settings, patients responded well but wart reduction rates varied. Our aim was to find a correlation between clinical responses and pretreatment (constitutive) levels of genes that might be involved in the molecular action of IQ. Since IQ is a cytokine inducer, we analyzed levels of expression of genes of the J...

WHILE the pathology and virology of human skin warts have received considerable attention in the last few years, little work has been done to establish the relationship of genital warts to warts in general, or even to establish if these lesions are of viral origin. The viral aetiology of the human skin wart (verruca vulgaris, plana, and plantaris) is now well established. By use of the electron...

BACKGROUND In the treatment of multiple warts, there is no single treatment that is 100% effective and different modalities of treatment need to be combined. AIM To evaluate the efficacy of homologous autoimplantation therapy in the treatment of multiple warts. METHODS A total of 60 patients of multiple verruca vulgaris and palmo-plantar warts were enrolled. Homologous autoimplantation was ...

BACKGROUND The treatment of periungual warts is a therapeutic challenge. Various treatment modalities can be ineffective and may cause scarring and permanent nail changes. OBJECTIVES A prospective pilot study to investigate the efficacy and safety of a low concentration (0.1 U/mL) of bleomycin in the treatment of periungual warts. METHODS Periungual warts were injected with bleomycin (0.1 U...

The global prevalence of papillomavirus in the 4to 18-year-old population has been estimated to be 24% (12% for those aged 4 to 6 years and 24% for those aged 16 to 18 years) [1]. The prevalence is significantly reduced in adults (3.5%) [2]. There are no significant differences related to gender. There is, however, a higher prevalence in rural versus urban schools. While plantar and common wart...

Objective To measure the effect on genital warts of the national human papillomavirus vaccination programme in Australia, which started in mid-2007. Design Trend analysis of national surveillance data. Setting Data collated from eight sexual health services from 2004 to 2011; the two largest clinics also collected self reported human papillomavirus vaccination status from 2009. Participants Bet...
