Warts are benign proliferations of the skin and mucosa caused by infection with human papillomavirus. They are commonly treated with destructive modalities such as cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen, local injection of bleomycin, electrocoagulation, topical application of glutaraldehyde, and local and systemic interferon-β therapy. These treatment modalities often cause pain and sometimes scarring or pigmentation after treatment. We herein report a case with a right index finger wart, which was successfully treated with a topical activated vitamin D.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an important and well-described opportunistic virus in renal transplant recipients (RTRs) with infection occurring mainly after the first month post-renal transplant. CMV can present as primary infection, reinfection or reactivation of latent disease. Skin manifestations are rare and variable, and diagnosis is often delayed. We present one case of skin CMV ulcer of perineal areas without systemic symptoms of CMV disease and a negative quantitative polymerase chain reaction. This case serves to illustrate the protean nature of CMV disease in RTR.
