Aim: To study the clinical and epidemiological aspects of verrucae in relation to age, sex, occupation, associated symptoms and sites involved. Material and Method: The retrospective study was conducted in a sample of 60 clinically diagnosed cases of verrucae who attended the outpatient Department of Dermatology and Venereology ,Government Medical College, Amritsar over a span of six months. Results: The clinical characteristics of different types of verrucae were studied in 60 patients from September 2019 to February 2020, out of which 41 were male and 19 were female. The majority of patients belonged to the age group of 11 to 30 years (48%). The most common occupational group involved were students (46%) followed by office workers (35%). The presenting complaint of 82% of patients was a cosmetic concern only while 8% patients presented with pain mostly seen in the verrucae plantaris. Conclusion: In this study, male patients had a higher prevalence of verrucae but facial verrucae were the more commonly seen in females. The majority of the verrucae were asymptomatic and patients only had a cosmetic concern.

Background: Skin diseases are common contributors to disease morbidity worldwide, particularly among adolescents. Although skin diseases are rarely lethal, they can have a significant impact in terms of treatment cost, absence from school, and psychological distress. Verruca vulgaris (cutaneous warts) is a common skin problem in adolescents that commonly affects the hands and feet. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of warts among nursing students.Methods: Three hundred and twenty eight undergraduate degree students of nursing college were examined for skin conditions after an unprecedented sporadic visitors form the nursing college with palmo-plantar warts. The study was conducted at Sree Mookambika Institute of Medical Sciences, Kulasekharam, Kanyakumari district during the period of 20 March 2019 to 25 March 2019.Results: Among the 328 students, 102 students (31%) remained healthy dermatologically. Seborrheic dermatitis was found among 145 students (4.4%), pediculosis was found in 40 students (12%). 34 students were having palmoplantar warts (10.4%). Among these, nearly 30 were having palmar warts and only 4 were having plantar and palmar warts. 83 first year students were not having any warts in their hands or foot, whereas 11 among 2nd year, 16 among 3rd year students and 7 among 4th year students were having viral warts. Prevalence was more among 2nd and 3rd year students.Conclusions: Screening of hostel students should also include for the presence of viral skin disease like herpes simplex, Herpes zoster and HPV infections and they should be treated then and there to break the chain of transmission.

[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Perhaps the most consequential aspect of HPV physiology is its oncogenic potential. In women, highrisk HPV is associated with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), a precursor to invasive cervical cancer if not cleared by the host's immune system.…”

Although the exact mechanisms have yet to be elucidated, it is clear that cellular immunity plays a role in clearance of human papillomavirus (HPV) infections as it relates to the development of warts. Patients with extensive, recalcitrant, or treatment‐refractory warts may have an underlying immune system impairment at the root of HPV susceptibility. Early recognition of genetic disorders associated with immunologic defects that allow for recalcitrant HPV infection may expedite appropriate treatment for patients. Early recognition is often pivotal in preventing subsequent morbidity and/or mortality that may arise from inborn errors of immunity, such as WHIM (Warts, Hypogammaglobulinemia, Infections, Myelokathexis) syndrome. Among these, cervical cancer is one of the most common malignancies associated with HPV, can be fatal if not treated early, and is seen more frequently in patients with underlying immune deficiencies. A review of diseases with susceptibility to HPV provides clues to understanding the pathophysiology of warts. We also present diagnostic guidance to facilitate the recognition of inborn errors of immunity in patients with extensive and/or recalcitrant HPV infections.
