ABSTRACT
A total of 65 patients of condyloma acuminatum (CA) received cryotherapy plus 5-aminolevulinic acid-photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) or ALA-PDT alone.During cryotherapy,handling was gentle with a moderate depth.The nursing of PDT was both meticulous and comprehensive.Patients with adverse reactions received Kangfuxin liquid for wet packing and topical antibiotic ointment.The combination group received cryotherapy for 2 sessions and then PDT for 1-3 sessions while PDT was administered for 1-4 sessions in single PDT group.Then all patients received PDT once for consolidation therapy.For groups 1 and 2,the effective rates were 83% and 70% and the recurrent rates 17% and 30% respectively.Cryotherapy plus ALA-PDT is feasible for CA and it offers better efficacies and lower recurrent rates.And comprehensive,meticulous and comfortable nursing may achieve clinical efficacies,reduce the recurrent rate and minimize discomforts during treatment.
