title: [Treatment of anogenital warts with topical cidofovir].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Cidofovir is an antiviral agent which inhibits the DNA polymerase of different viruses. Its use has been described for papillomavirus infections.
  
  
  METHODS
  Descriptive retrospective study, including patients with difficult to treat anogenital warts who were treated with cidofovir cream.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Nine immunocompetent patients were treated, where 6 of them had a complete response and 3 of them a partial response.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Cidofovir cream could be a useful therapeutic alternative, although further studies are required to establish the best dosage and its cost-effectiveness.
