Abstract
Patients (73) with anogenital warts were randomly allocated to a double-blind comparison of treatment with trichloracetic acid (50%) and podophyllin (25%) vs. podophyllin (25%) alone. There was no significant difference in the resolution of warts in the 2 treatment groups among patients followed for 3 mo. Of patients free of warts at 6 wk, treatment with trichloracetic acid/podophyllin required significantly fewer applications (mean 2.9) than with podophylline alone (mean 4.0). Five (17%) patients in the former group reported side effects, but none did so in the latter group.Keywords
