Human papillomavirus infection and therapy with interferon.
The studies summarized have shown that therapy of condylomata acuminata with interferon is effective. The route of administration does not appear to influence the results; the intralesional, intramuscular, and subcutaneous routes were effective. Additional research is required to determine whether the natural interferon or recombinant product is superior. The appropriate administration schedule may also not have been attained.
