WARTS
Warts are cutaneous lesions that are caused by the Human Papillomavirus(HPV) which invades epithelial cells and cause benign epithelial tumors. There are over 70 types of HPV identified and although some types are associated with specific types of warts, there is some overlap. Warts are most common in children and adolescents and affect between 5-10% of the population. Transmission is usually from skin-to-skin and mucous membrane-to-mucous membrane. The virus can ... be transmitted by fomites. The acquisition is related to the amount of virus inoculated, the integrity of the skin, and the patient's cellular immunity.
