“…Individual variations in cell-mediated immunity may explain differences in severity and duration [6]. Warts occur more frequently, last longer, and appear in greater numbers in patients with AIDS, lymphomas, and those on immunosuppressants [2,[7][8]. Some types of warts are susceptible to therapy while others are resistant [1].…”

Background: Warts are benign epidermal neoplasms resulting from infection with human papilloma viruses. Aim and Objective: To determine the clinico- epidemiological profile of patients with warts. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was carried out in University of Port-Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Rivers State, Nigeria. All patients with warts that attended the dermatology clinic from June 2013 to June 2020 were included. Data of the patients were searched for detailed history, complete cutaneous, systemic examinations and retroviral screening. Analysis was done using Microsoft excel, 2013 software. Results: One hundred and eighteen (118) patients were clinically diagnosed with viral warts during the study period. 36 (30.51%) had genital warts while 82 (69.49%) had non-genital warts. Males were more affected than females and the mean age at presentation was 25.04 years. The most common type of warts seen in children and adults was common warts. High risk behaviours was noted in 85% of patients with genital warts. Conclusion: Common warts were the most common warts with male preponderance. The head and neck were the most common site, but the extremities were more common in children. Patients in the second decade of life were mostly affected with majority concerned about the cosmetic appearance.

Literature searches were performed electronically in PubMed, Medline, ISI, DOAJ, Springer, Embase. Web of Knowledge, DOAJ, and Google Scholar for original articles written in the English language and Scielo, Latindex, Imbiomed-L, Redalyc, and Google Scholar for original articles written in the Spanish language. The searches included the keywords: epidemiology of human papillomavirus, viral taxonomy, the structure of human papillomavirus, classification of human papillomavirus, the nomenclature of human papillomavirus, pathologies associated to human papillomavirus, human papillomavirus and cervical, human papillomavirus and vulvar cancer and human papillomavirus and vaginal cancer Publications from January 1987 to August 2021 reviewed. This narrative review researched the epidemiology of the human papillomavirus and its pathologies associated especially the female genital area.
