| | Cutaneous Manifestations of Human Papilloma Virus |
 | | Human papillomavirus (HPV)-induced skin warts are classically benign lesions. | | | The humoral and cell-mediated immune response to human papillomavirus type 1 (HPV-1) has been studied in 162 patients carrying papillomas of various clinical types: deep plantar wart or myrmecia, common wart, flat wart, and anogenital wart. | | | This study compared the segregation patterns of human papillomavirus (HPV) in genital and nongenital warts in prepubertal children and adults. |

| | Human Papillomavirus (Genital Warts) |
| | Although some types of HPV cause common warts on hands and feet, genital HPVs are sexually transmitted and can cause warts in the genital and anal area of both men and women. | | | The chance of becoming infected with human papillomavirus can be reduced by avoiding risky sexual behaviors. | | | About 50% of individuals who are infected with HPV never develop genital warts, but are still capable of transmitting the virus to others. |
