Treatment of verruca vulgaris with topical cidofovir in an immunocompromised patient: a case report and review of the literature.
Transpl Infect Dis. 2005 Sep-Dec; (3-4): 158-61
Lesions caused by verrucus vulgaris are commonly refractory to therapy and may become large, painful, or disfiguring in immunocompromised patients. Cidofovir is a potent nucleoside analog antiviral agent shown to have in vitro and in vivo activity against a broad spectrum of DNA viruses. We report a successful use of topical cidofovir to treat verruca vulgaris lesions in a highly immunocompromised patient, who was not considered a candidate for conventional therapy.
