ÖzetViral infeksiyonlar çocuk ve erişkinlerde en sık görülen enfeksiyonlardandır. Çocuklarda ekzantematöz döküntülerin en sık sebebidirler. Ağırlıklı olarak deri-mukoza belirtileriyle seyreden bazı viral hastalıklar ise vezikülobüllöz ya da papüler lezyonlarla seyreder. Sum maryViral infections are the most common infections in children and adults. They are the most common cause of exanthematous rashes in children. Some viral diseases that mainly present with skin-mucosa findings, usually appear with vesiculobullous or papuler lesions. Most of the causative viruses (except varicella zoster virus) can use skin as the entrance gate. In this article, the diseases that are caused by Human Herpes Virus, Human Papilloma Virus and Pox Virus and which present with skin manifestations will be discussed.

“…If the topical agents fail, cryotherapy, curettage, electrocoagulation, liquid nitrogen, surgical excision or laser therapy can be considered.

BACKGROUND: Warts are epithelial proliferations in the skin and mucous membrane caused by various types of HPV. They can decrease spontaneously or increase in size and number according to the patient's immune status. The Propionium bacterium parvum is a strong immune stimulant and immune modulator and has important effects in the immune system and it is able to produce antibodies in the skin. OBJECTIVE: To show the efficacy of the Propionium bacterium parvum in saline solution in the treatment of skin warts. METHODS: A randomized double-blind study. Twenty patients with multiple warts were divided into two groups: one received 0,1ml intradermal injection of placebo solution in just one of the warts and the other received 0,1 ml of saline solution of Propionium bacterium parvum, one dose a month, for 3 to 5 months. RESULTS: Among the 20 patients who participated in the study, ten received the placebo and ten received the saline solution with Propionium bacterium parvum. In 9 patients treated with the Propionium bacterium parvum solution the warts disappeared without scars and in 1 patient it decreased in size. In 9 patients who received the placebo no change to the warts was observed and in 1 it decreased in size. CONCLUSIONS: The immune modulator and immune stimulant Propionium bacterium parvum produced antibodies in the skin which destroyed the warts without scars, with statistically significant results (P<0,001), and cured 90 % of the patients. We suggest the use of the immune stimulant in the treatment of warts.
