Two immunosuppressedpatients in the cidofovir group had recurrentlesions after 2 months of being declared free from warts.Considering adverse effects, two patients in the cidofovirgroup complained of bulla formation with severe pain requiringnarcotic painkillers. @*Conclusion@#Although this studyhas the limitations of a small sample size and retrospectivedesign, patients with recalcitrant common warts showed adramatic response to the treatment with cidofovir intralesional injection, with minimal complications.
