Abstract

A total of 79 foot and hand warts in 27 patients was included in this study. Photodynamic therapy with topical application of 20% 5-aminolevulinic acid for 12 hours using excimer dye laser was used to treat the recalcitrant warts. The rate of complete reduction in the wart area was 63.3%.A means of 7 sessions of treatment was necessary for complete reduction. Photodynamic therapy with topical 5-aminolevulinic acid for recalcitrant warts might provide beneficial results without severe side effects.
