Abstract
Male patients (11) with genital warts were given injections of fibroblast interferon (300 units) and placebo into the bases of 2 similar warts. The changes in size of the treated warts compared with that of the controls suggested that interferon inhibited the growth of the warts. The dose given was probably insufficient for a dramatic effect. In 1 patient, a wart on the penile shaft was injected with interferon and disappeared within 2 wk; an untreated meatal wart increased in size.Keywords
