Ionic Contraviral Topical Therapy in Multiple Resistant to Treatment Verruca Vulgaris

Abstract

arts are tumors or growths caused by infection with Human Papilloma virus (HPV). More than 100 HPV subtypes are known. They are common presenting disease in children and adolescents which spread by direct contact or autoinoculation. The treatment of warts poses a therapeutic challenge for physicians. No single therapy had been proven to be effective at achieving complete remission in every patient. As a result, many different approaches to wart therapy exist. These approaches include destructive therapy, virucidal therapy, antimitotic therapy and immunotherapy (Sterling et al., 2001). These destructive methods are variably effective; they are not always successful and may be associated with adverse effects such as painful scars, discomfort and nerve damage. Moreover, these modalities require individual treatment for each wart and do not prevent recurrence. The ideal aims of the treatment of warts should be to remove the wart without recurrence, avoid aggressive (potentially scaring) procedures, and to assist the immune system in dealing more effectively with the virus and inducing life-long immunity to HPV.
