title: No apparent effect of cidofovir in epidermodysplasia verruciformis.
abstract: This paper reports the failure of a patient suffering from Epidermodysplasia verruciformis, characterised by widespread infection of the skin with human papillomaviruses, to respond to topical and systemic treatment with the antiviral agent, Cidofovir, despite its previously demonstrated effectiveness against a range of different papillomavirus-associated conditions.
