title: Sporadic cases of Heck disease in two Polish girls: association with human papillomavirus type 13.
abstract: Two sporadic cases of Heck disease in Polish girls were associated with human papillomavirus 13. No other children and nobody from their surroundings had similar lesions. The course of the disease was chronic in both patients. The lesions regressed spontaneously in one girl within several years after some of the papules were excised. The second girl's warts persist after eight years.
