MRCP revision battle 48.1: Genital warts
Genital warts are not a topic I want to dwell on so lets make this very concise.
Posh medical name for genital warts = condylomata accuminata
Cause: HPV, most commonly strains HPV 6 and HPV 11.
Less than 1% of people who become infected with HPV develop warts.
Prevention: gardasil vaccine protects against HPV 6 and 11 (associated with warts) and 16 and 18 (associated with cervical cancer)
Treatment:
- 1st line: topical podophyllin/cryotherapy
- 2nd line: imiquimod
Lets move rapidly onwards...
