Topical cidofovir for benign human papillomavirus–associated skin lesions
Keyword(s):
Cidofovir is a broad-spectrum antiviral agent that has shown efficacy against skin lesions caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). We present a case of extensive verruca vulgaris lesions refractory to imiquimod that was responsive to topical cidofovir therapy, and analyze other case series in the literature of successful treatment of benign HPV-associated skin lesions with topical cidofovir. Topical cidofovir’s favorable response rate and tolerability make it a useful treatment option for patients of differing ages and immune status who have nonmalignant HPV-associated skin lesions and desire topical therapy.
