The novel treatment of children with viral warts using microwave technology

Microwave therapy is emerging as an effective, well‐tolerated and safe treatment modality for cutaneous warts but there is limited data in paediatric patients. In our cohort of 35 paediatric patients with recalcitrant warts, 68.6% (24/35) demonstrated complete resolution after an average of three mi...

description Microwave therapy is emerging as an effective, well‐tolerated and safe treatment modality for cutaneous warts but there is limited data in paediatric patients. In our cohort of 35 paediatric patients with recalcitrant warts, 68.6% (24/35) demonstrated complete resolution after an average of three microwave treatment sessions. There were no reports of ulceration or blistering but 22.9% (8/35) of patients reported pain that required discontinuation of microwave therapy. This study provides evidence that microwave therapy can be used for the treatment of warts in paediatric patients.[Image: see text]
