[5-Fluorouracil treatment of condylomata acuminata]

Abstract

25 patients (2 females, 23 males, 20 to 40-year-old) suffering from condylomata acuminata (19 genital, 2 anal, and 4 genitoanal lesions) were locally treated with salicylic acid containing 5-fluorouracil (Verrumal) once a day. This therapy resulted in complete healing within 12 days on an average. 5 patients showed a relaps after 2 weeks to 5 months and were treated again. The treatment failed in a 40-year-old patient suffering from condylomata acuminata genitalis.
