ABSTRACT
BACKGOUND Interferon-alpha2b has already proven to be effective in the clinical treatment of virus-originated diseases such as hairy cell leukemia, condyloma acuminatum, and AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma. The use of recombinant interferon-alpha2b may allow various types of wart to be treated relatively atraumatically and with less incidence of recurrence. OBJECTIVE:
We tried to compare the effectiveness and safety of intralesional injections of recombinant interferon-alpha2b with natural interferon-alpha2b in the treatment of patients with various types of wart.METHOD:
Patients with more than two warts were treated by injecting the different warts with 0.5 to 1.0X105 IU/1mm3 of recombinant and natural interferon-alpha2b, twice per week for 4 to 20 weeks. The response to treatment was followed up at 36 weeks.RESULTS:
At the end of treatment, clearing of the treated warts had occurred in 83.3% of the recombinant interferon-alpha2b group and 91.6% of the natural interferon-alpha2b group. A more rapid cure rate was observed in the natural interferon-alpha2b group than in the recombinant interferon-alpha2b group. The rest showed partial improvement. With evaluation for relapse up to 16 weeks after treatment, warts were found to relapse in 11.1% of both the recombinant and natural interferon groups.CONCLUSION:
Intralesional natural interferon-alpha2b has a better therapeutic effect than recombinant interferon-alpha2b, and may be considered as a therapeutic modality of recalcitrant verruca or when it can be anticipated that destructive techniques or blistering agents will not be tolerated.
