Overview

"Since ""Viral Warts"" was published 10 years ago, knowledge of the occurrence, detection, behaviour, and management of warts has greatly increased. There has been new research into the human papillomavirus (HPV), the role of the immune system in controlling wart infections, and possible links between HPV and carcinogenesis. This new edition, rewritten to include these topics and illustrated throughout, continues to acknowledge the interdependence of the scientific and clinical aspects of the subject. In addition to the continued high prevalence of cutaneous warts, the expansion of organ transplantation programmes, and growth in the proportion of the population infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have led to a large increase in presentation of patients with wart infections. This book is a practical wart treatment manual for all clinicians faced with their management, including the many general practitioners who, under the new contract, are now treating warts for the first time. It is also meant to be helpful to dermatologists, including those who need to update their venereology in order to practise in Europe."
