Abstract:
Treatment of warts is considered as a big challenge for patients as well as doctors. Immunotherapy represents a promising and successful method of warts treatment. A great attention has been paid for various types of immunotherapeutic agents. One of the immunotherapeutic approaches is intralesional immunotherapy that showed a successful result in treatment of warts. Complete resolution of warts was achieved in many of studied patients, while some of them showed partial response and only few patients showed no response. Our study was based on the previous observations and reports of regression of several types of warts after administration of candida antigen and other new immunotherapeutic antigens. Candida antigen group showed complete clearance in 16 patients (69.6%), partial response in seven patients (30.4%). In VZV vaccine group, complete clearance was observed in 15 patients (65.2%), partial response in eight patients (34.8%). These results showed that the therapeutic response in two groups had a close statistical result and more chances must be given to VZV vaccine specially after its promising and successful results. In conclusion, we presented a novel approach for the treatment of recalcitrant wart using intralesional immunotherapy with Candida antigen and VZV vaccine. VZV vaccine seems to be promising, safe and effective remedy for any type warts mainly plantar warts
