Abstract:
Introduction: Palmo-plantar wart is a fairly common condition with a plethora of treatment options having different success rates. Many a times they are refractory to treatment with often disappointing results. Often they are treated with destructive methods such as electro cautery, it may be associated with scarring in multiple warts and they are resistant to treatment. Treatment with intralesional vitamin D3 have gained popularity recently as it induces cell mediated immunity and leads to clearance of treated as well as distant warts. In our study, we have tried to explore the efficacy of intralesional vitamin D3 in treatment of palmo-plantar warts. Aims and objectives: To study the efficacy and safety of intralesional Vitamin D3 in the treatment of palmo-plantar warts. Materials and Methods: Twenty patients with palmo-plantar warts varying in size, number and duration were included in this study. about 0.2- 0.3 ml of injection Vitamin D3 (600000 IU, 15 mg/ml) was injected at the base of warts. The injections were given at the interval of 2 weeks and maximum of 4 sessions or until complete clearance, whichever was earlier. A maximum of 3 warts were injected per session. Improvement and adverse effect were noted at each visit and patients were followed up for 3 months after last injection. Results: Out of 20 patients, 17 patients completed the study. Complete response was seen in 8 (45%), partial response in 8 (45%), and 1 (10%) patient showed no response. On an average 3 injections were required to achieve a complete resolution. Complete resolution of distant warts was noticed in patients. Conclusions: Intralesional vitamin D3 is a safe, effective and an inexpensive treatment option for multiple palmo-plantar warts. Study needs confirmation with large sample size.
