[Epidemioclinical and Therapeutic Study of Condylomas (Genital Warts) in Dermato-Venereology Department (CHU Treichville, Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, 2013-2016)]. Bull Soc Pathol Exot. 2018;111(1):1-4 Authors: Hamdan SK, Yao IK, Diabaté A, Elidje JE, Kaloga M, Kouadio CA, Ildevert PG, Kouamé AK, Sylvain SA, Kassi K, Kanga K, Sangare A Abstract We have conducted a retrospective study in the dermatology department of the CHU Treichville in Abidjan during 4 years. Three hundred and fifty cases of venereal warts were recorded with a hospital frequency of 1.5%, an average age of 29.37, a female predominance (51.3%), and a sex ratio (M/F) of 0.94. We have observed a giant condyloma in 0.9%, a main localization to the vulva (47.7%) and male genitalia (34.6%); HIV testing carried out in 60.8% of patients was positive in 80.7% of cases, all HIV1. Electrocoagulation was the mean treatment (93.1%), followed by cryotherapy (15 cases), chemotherapy (6 cases), and surgery (3 cases). Recurrences were reported in 9 cases (2.6%) of which more than half has occurred within a month. PMID: 30763506 [PubMed - in process]
