Abstract: | We describe a 25-year-old woman, who had extensive, large viral warts consistent with epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV) since she was 6-year-old. Laboratory studies revealed an isolated IgM-deficiency, but the patient demonstrated no other abnormalities. She was treated with oral acitretin (0.5-1 mg/kg/day) for six months and her skin lesions improved slightly. However, after discontinuing the treatment, the lesions came back but she declined further treatment. |
