Local and systemic adverse effects of imiquimod therapy for external anogenital warts in men: report of three cases

A Rosenblatt et al. Int J STD AIDS. 2012 Dec.

Abstract

Imiquimod is a topical immune response modifier used to treat anogenital warts. Although considered a safe drug, mild to moderate local and systemic side-effects may occasionally occur. We report three cases of local and systemic adverse effects related to imiquimod, including one case that mimicked meningitis, which promptly resolved with drug cessation.
