“…Others have reported effective treatment of recalcitrant plantar, periungual and subungual, as well as anogenital warts by applying imiquimod cream over 12 weeks with no evident recurrence or side effects. [230][231][232][233][234][235] Application of imiquimod cream following laser treatment of anogenital warts, beginning when wound healing had completed, proved effective in reducing recurrences. 236 Advantages of using imiquimod 5% cream in children included less pain and trauma than other treatments, such as salicylic acid, cryotherapy or laser.…”

Patients and clinicians experience the frustration of cutaneous viral warts caused by infection with the human papilloma virus (HPV).Warts appear in various forms on different sites of the body and include common warts (verruca vulgaris), plane or flat warts, myrmecia, plantar warts, coalesced mosaic warts, filiform warts, periungual warts, anogenital warts (venereal or condyloma acuminata), oral warts and respiratory papillomas. Cervical infection with HPV is now known to cause cervical cancer if untreated. A review of the medical literature reveals a huge armamentarium of wart monotherapies and combination therapies. Official evidence-based guidelines exist for the treatment of warts, but very few of the reported treatments have been tested by rigorous blinded, randomized controlled trials.Therefore, official recommendations do not often include treatments with reportedly high success rates, but they should not be ignored when considering treatment options. It is the purpose of this review to provide a comprehensive overview of the wart treatment literature to expand awareness of the options available to practitioners faced with patients presenting with problematic warts. Warts of the genital tract carry a much more ominous and pernicious threat for women in particular. It has been estimated that up to 70% of sexually active women become infected during their lifetime with human papillomavirus (HPV), the infective agent that causes warts. 3-5 A causal role for HPV infections in cervical cancer has been documented beyond reasonable doubt. HPV DNA is present in virtually all cervical cancer cases worldwide, with it being detected in 99.7% of an international series of cervical cancers by genetic amplification techniques and in 100% of cases as confirmed by histological review. 6,7 Cervical cancer is the most frequent common cancer in developing countries and the second most common cancer in women worldwide. 3 The association between HPV infection and cervical cancer is so strong that HPV is now considered the first positive cause of any human cancer ever identified. 3This raises the level of concerns over HPV prevention, screening and treatment from that of a nuisance condition to that of a major public health concern. Attention is beginning to focus on the viral factors that determine persistence and neoplastic progression to cancer and the possible role of HPV in other nongenital cancers (e.g., skin, upper aerodigestive tract). [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Patients with warts seek advice from general practitioners, pharmacists, naturopaths, allied health professionals, family or friends, dermatologists, gynecologists, obstetricians and pediatricians for treatment and may present with recalcitrant warts that have been previously treated with anything from folk remedies to hypnosis to over-the-counter medications to more aggressive clinic-based treatments. Unfortunately, even with years of medical literature on this subject, high-quality, level I evidence for the efficacy of almost all treatments is no...

não tiveram participação no processo editorial de avaliação do artigo ARTIGO ORIGINALRESUMO | Introdução: A profissão de açougueiro é descrita como exposta a agentes de risco biológico, devido à manipulação constante de carne com sangue, gorduras e fluidos. Entre os riscos biológicos, podemos encontrar contaminação por agentes virais como o papilomavírus (HPV), mais predominantemente o HPV de subtipo 7, caracterizado como "verruga do açougueiro". Objetivo: O objetivo do estudo é avaliar a presença de lesões verrucosas em trabalhadores do setor de açougue. Método: Este estudo transversal descritivo foi realizado em um supermercado na cidade de São Paulo durante o ano de 2017. Participaram 24 trabalhadores do setor de açougue: todos responderam a uma entrevista e foram submetidos à inspeção da pele, e as lesões encontradas foram documentadas por foto. Resultados: A maioria dos participantes é homem (87,5%) e metade deles (50,0%) estava na faixa etária de 31 a 40 anos. Apenas um funcionário iniciou no setor há menos de dois anos (4,2%). Lesões como verrugas ou cicatrizes de lesões com ponto preto em região central foram encontradas nas mãos de 11 açougueiros (45,8%). Conclusão: Quase metade dos participantes apresentavam sinais de história de verrugas em mãos. O grupo de lesionados tinha maioria do sexo masculino, idade até 40 anos, eram destros e trabalhavam no açougue há pelo menos dois anos. Podemos sugerir que foram detectados casos de dermatoses ocupacionais de verrugas em trabalhadores no açougue de supermercado na cidade de São Paulo.
