Background. Common warts are induced by human papilloma virus (HPV) types 1-4, 26-29, 38, 41, 49, 57, 63, and 65 and can be found in up to 10% of adults and children. Many treatment modalities have been used to destroy the infected viral cells. These include the use of various methods such as salicylic acids, cryosurgery, curettage, and electrocautery. Patients/methods. The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of the long-pulsed tunable dye laser (LPTDL) in the treatment of verrucae vulgares. Twenty-four patients with recalcitrant warts were included in the study. Thirty-one warts were treated in these patients. Results. Two patients (6.5%) were completely freed of their warts,and a reduction of > 75% was attained in 12.9%. Nine patients (29%) experienced a reduction of < 50%. Conclusions. The LPTDL represents another quick treatment modality with low side effects, but only low clearance rates could be found in this study.
