ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Viral warts are common viral infections and are usually self-limiting. However, there have been few studies assessing the characteristics of patients with viral warts.OBJECTIVE:
The purpose of this study was to assess the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of viral warts during a five-year-period.METHODS:
We carried out a retrospective analysis of patients with viral warts who had been diagnosed in the Myongji hospital from January 2007 to December 2011.RESULTS:
One thousand seven hundred and ninety patients with viral warts were assessed. A group of patients aged under 10 years had the highest occurrence of common warts (46.8%). The mean age was 16.9 years. Hands (47.7%) were more commonly involved than feet (36.4%). Cryotherapy was used to treat most of the patients. One thousand and sixty-one patients (59.3%) showed complete resolution of the wart lesion in the clinical ground.CONCLUSION:
The number of patients with viral warts is currently increasing. This study provides useful data on the prevalence and characteristics of viral warts.
