wart

Examples of wart in the following topics:

• Genital Warts

  • Genital warts (or Condylomata acuminata, venereal warts, anal warts and anogenital warts) is a highly contagious sexually transmitted disease caused by some sub-types of human papillomavirus (HPV ).
  • Warts are the most easily recognized symptom of genital HPV infection, where types 6 and 11 are responsible for 90% of genital warts cases.
  • Types 6 and 11 cause genital warts, while 16 and 18 cause cervical cancer.
  • Every year, Americans spend $200 million on the treatment of genital warts.
  • Surgical excision is best for large warts, and has a greater risk of scarring.

• Viral Skin Diseases

  • Three common skin conditions that result from viral infections are cold sores, shingles, and warts.
  • It is possible to get warts from others.
  • Gardasil is an HPV vaccine aimed at preventing cervical cancers and genital warts.
  • There are many treatments and procedures associated with wart removal.
  • Describe what causes cold sores, shingles and warts and the treatment options available

• Human Papillomavirus (HPV)

  • While the majority of the known types of HPV cause no symptoms in most people, some types can cause warts (verrucae), while others can – in a minority of cases – lead to cancers of the cervix, vulva, vagina, penis, oropharynx and anus.
  • Some sexually transmitted HPV types may cause genital warts.
  • Persistent infection with "high-risk" HPV types — different from the ones that cause skin warts — may progress to precancerous lesions and invasive cancer.

• Verrucomicrobia

  • While verrucae is another name for the warts often found on the hands and feet, this phylum is so called not because it is a causative agent thereof, but because of its wart-like morphology.

• DNA Oncogenic Viruses

  • They also cause warts and benign papillomas .
  • Papillomas are benign growths, such as warts, of epithelial cells.

• Cancer Immunology

  • Topical immunotherapy utilizes an immune enhancement cream (imiquimod) which is an interferon producer causing the patients own killer T cells to destroy warts, actinic keratoses, basal cell cancer, vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia, squamous cell cancer, cutaneous lymphoma, and superficial malignant melanoma.
  • Injection immunotherapy uses mumps, candida the HPV vaccine or trichophytin antigen injections to treat warts (HPV induced tumors).

• Immunotherapy for Cancer

  • Topical immunotherapy utilizes an immune enhancement cream (imiquimod), which is an interferon producer, causing the patient's own killer T cells to destroy warts, actinic keratoses, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, cutaneous T cell lymphoma, and superficial spreading melanoma.
  • Injection immunotherapy uses mumps, candida, or trichophytin antigen injections to treat warts (HPV-induced tumors).

• Viral Morphology

  • Non-enveloped viruses also include those that cause polio (poliovirus), plantar warts (papillomavirus), and hepatitis A (hepatitis A virus).
  • DNA viruses cause human diseases, such as chickenpox, hepatitis B, and some venereal diseases, like herpes and genital warts.

• Excavata

  • Whereas men rarely exhibit symptoms during an infection with this protist, infected women may become more susceptible to secondary infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or genital wart virus infection, which causes over 90% of cervical cancer.

• Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)

  • Common sexually transmitted infections include: gonorrhea, syphillis, chlamydia, genital warts, genital herpes, the human papillomavirus (HPV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
