Methods: A total of 40 patients with multiple recurrent cutaneous warts were enrolled in this prospective open labelled study. The donor tissue was harvested by just paring the wart, instead of taking the whole of wart tissue. The harvested tissue was then crushed and injected in the gluteal region in suspension of 1 ml of distilled water. Patients were followed up once in 2 weeks for one month and then monthly for 3 months. Patients were evaluated with lesion count at each visit and the response to the treatment was assessed at the end of 12 weeks.
Conclusion: Modified autowart injection technique was found to be a safe and effective therapeutic modality with rapid resolution of warts in the treatment of multiple, recurrent, recalcitrant warts.
Key Words: Auto wart injection; Immune stimulation; Paring; Multiple, Recurrent, Recalcitrant warts
