Abstract
A 50-year-old man with widespread manifestation of warts and distinct pruritus for the last 5 years was diagnosed with a reactivated human papillomavirus (HPV) infection by three, genetically verified types (6, 16, 18), which are included in the vaccine Gardasil®. Conventional treatment was not successful, but a rapid and significant reduction of the skin manifestation was observed after vaccination with Gardasil®. To what extent therapy-resistant infections with HPV can be influenced through an active HPV vaccination should be investigated in future trials.Entities:
