Plantar warts in twins after successful bone marrow transplantation for severe combined immunodeficiency.
Nine-year-old twin sisters presented with long-standing severe plantar warts following bone marrow transplantation for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). Combination therapy with keratolysis, cidofovir and water-filtered infrared coagulation (WIRA) led to complete clearance after 8 months of therapy. This dermatologic problem and the treatment of SCID including gene therapy are discussed.
