  • Title: Management of condyloma acuminatum.
    Author: Silva PD, Micha JP, Silva DG.
    Journal: J Am Acad Dermatol; 1985 Sep; 13(3):457-63. PubMed ID: 2414346.
    Abstract:
    This article describes an approach to the evaluation and treatment of condyloma acuminatum (anogenital warts) that is based on the results of new clinical research on the biology of the human papillomavirus. A more extensive diagnostic protocol, including routine cervicovaginal examination and Papanicolaou smear, is proposed for female patients because of the close association of genital human papillomavirus infections with cervical carcinoma. Two highly effective therapies, cryosurgery and carbon dioxide laser photocoagulation, are described and compared with older regimens. Recent developments in immunotherapy for resistant condyloma acuminatum are also discussed.
