“…1 However viral replication occurs only in fully differentiated keratinocytes that results in cell proliferation. Today, the genomes of 120 HPV types have been fully characterized and additional partial DNA sequences have been obtained, indicating the existence of at least 200 HPV genotypes.…”

“…Impairment of the epithelial barrier function, by trauma or maceration greatly predisposes to The apparent failure of the immune system in otherwise healthy individuals to clear warts for months or years is because Langerhans' cell numbers are reduced within warts and T lymphocytes are rare within the epidermal compartment. 1,7 Common warts are hyperkeratotic, exophytic, domeshaped papules or plaques that are typically associated with HPV-1, 2, 4, 27 or 57. They are most frequently located on the fingers and dorsal surfaces of the hands or in other sites prone to trauma such as the knees or elbows.…”

“…8 However this Köbner like isomorphic phenomenon is less marked than in plane warts. 1 A new type of HPV is defined when a given HPV shows greater than 10% divergence in L1 sequence when compared to any known HPV types by DNA hybridization. About 120 different types of HPVs have been fully characterized.…”

Background: Common warts are cutaneous viral infections caused by various strains of human papilloma virus (HPV). Their variants include filiform, periungual and pigmented warts. At present more than 200 different HPV genotypes have been detected and a periodic clinical analysis will reveal whether any new morphological variations have occurred.Methods: Hundred and ten patients with common warts were taken up for this study.Results: The clinical characteristics of 637 common warts in 110 patients were studied over a span of 1 and a half years. The age group ranged from 18 years to 72 years. Seventy six were males and 34 were females. Majority belonged to the age group of 18-30 years. The most common occupational group involved were students followed by housewives. The initial site of onset in 44.5% of patients was on the fingers. Eleven patients had atopic diathesis. Similar complaints in friends and family were seen in 30%. The most common sites of involvement for classical common warts were on the fingers and for filiform warts were on the head. 30% had association with other warts out of which 28.1% had palmoplantar warts.Conclusions: Common warts usually present as a cosmetic concern in most patients. Our study concluded that young male students are susceptible to acquiring them. Characteristics of warts in atopics did not differ significantly from non atopics. Regions most prone to contact and susceptible to trauma are the most common sites of inoculation i.e. fingers, scalp and face.

“…Second sample should be taken after appropriate interval depending on the type of infection. In general the most convenient is convalescence time, around 21 days after clinical manifestation (Rajčáni & Čiampor, 2006), on the other hand according to Sterling (2004) the best time for second blood sample is 10 -14 days after first blood sample examination, when first antiviral antibodies start to be detectable.…”
