“…Patients with DM who develop genital herpes have more severe infections, require prolonged treatment and are more likely to develop complications such as ketoacidosis. 5 A PUBMED search looking for evidence to suggest patients with DM suffered with more severe warts found three reports from 1978 6 , 1988 7 and 2008. 8 We had previously looked at the management of genital warts in 50 patients under the age of 18 and had noted that three out of 50 had diabetes.…”

Through clinical practice, it is often perceived that patients with diabetes are more likely to suffer from severe and recalcitrant warts. This study was set up to investigate if genital warts were more common in patients with diabetes and to determine if patients with diabetes and genital warts required more treatment than those without diabetes. Only female patients with diabetes and genital warts were investigated and were compared to the non-diabetic population. Results suggested that patients with diabetes had more extensive warts and recurrences. This study will hopefully further inform the debate surrounding preferential use of quadrivalent human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine as opposed to bivalent HPV vaccine especially in the setting of a Diabetes Young Person's clinic.

Genital herpes is a common, distressing infection whose incidence has been underestimated. Recent serological surveys, employing type-specific antibody assays, show a rising prevalence of previous herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 2 infections in post-adolescent populations in developed countries; many of these infections have been asymptomatic. In some geographical locations, HSV-1 infections are a common cause of first episodes. They may occur in stable, monogamous relationships and are less likely to recur than genital infections caused by HSV-2. The clinical features of first episode genital herpes show marked individual variation in severity; they tend to be more severe in women than in men. Local and distant complications are common in immunocompetent individuals and may be life-threatening in those who are immunocompromised. The psychological and social consequences which result from the life-long infection and its risks of transmission to new sexual partners often prove more disabling to affected individuals than do the milder physical symptoms associated with recurrent episodes. Counselling, support, and patient education are essential components of management. Acyclovir is clearly established as the first choice therapy in both first and recurrent episodes of genital herpes. This drug has potent antiviral effect and provides significant clinical benefit in first episodes. Systemic therapy for initial episodes does not prevent either the establishment of latency or the development of future recurrences even when used in high or prolonged dosage. Episodic treatment of recurrences, with either oral or topical acyclovir, requires early patient initiation of therapy to provide significant clinical benefit.
