Intralesional Measles-Mumps-Rubella Vaccine for Genital Warts

Genital warts are caused by several strains of Human Papilloma Viruses (HPVs). Although asymptomatic in most cases, they can be psychologically and physically distressing for patients. Recently, Intralesional immunotherapy by different antigens like Bacille Calmette–Guerin vaccine, candida antigen, and measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine has shown promising efficacy in the treatment of warts. Here we report two cases in Omani males who presented to the dermatology clinic at Barka Poly clinic with recalcitrant genital warts that resolved completely with intralesional injection of MMR vaccine.

HECK'S DISEASE – A RARE CASE REPORT

Heck's disease is a familial benign lesion affecting the oral mucosa and skin caused by Human papilloma viruses 13 and 32. This condition is quite rare in the Indian subcontinent and till date less than 10 case reports have been published. Females are predominantly affected. It is important for an oral physician to be aware and possess sufcient knowledge about these lesions as these lesions are highly contagious. Further, the presence of these lesions may indicate an underlying immunodecient state of the patient. This paper reports an unusual case of Heck's disease in a 30 year old Indian male.
