Label:chem
Topic
A study provides several case reports and studies on the efficacy of cidofovir for treating recalcitrant warts.
Answer
Cidofovir has shown significant efficacy in treating verruca vulgaris and verruca plana, both topically and intralesionally. For example, a retrospective analysis of 58 patients with recalcitrant warts treated with intralesional cidofovir (15 mg/mL) reported that over 75% of patients achieved complete resolution after an average of 3.4 treatments administered monthly. Topical cidofovir has also been effective, with studies showing complete resolution in a significant number of patients, although some cases required longer treatment durations.
