Book Description
In the last ten years knowledge of the occurence, detection, behaviour, and management of warts has greatly increased. There has been new research into the papillomavirus (HPV), the role of the immune system in controlling wart infections, and possible links between HPV and carcinogenesis.This new edition, completely rewritten to include these topics and illustrated throughout in colour, is still the only comprehensive book on warts which acknowledges the interdependence of the scientific and clinical aspects of the subject. This book is a practical wart treatment manual for all clinicians faced with their management, including the many general practitioners who, under the new contract, are now treating warts for the first time. It will also be helpful to dermatologists including those who need to update theirvenereology in order to practice in Europe.
