Description
Emmanuel and co-authors review a decade of wart cases at a teaching hospital in Jos, Nigeria. Their 2024 study covers 61 patients whose warts were confirmed under the microscope between 2013 and 2022. Warts are benign growths caused by low-risk forms of the human papillomavirus.
Cases split between skin warts and genital warts, with the genital kind in the lead. Women made up a slight majority, and the busiest ages ran from thirty to forty-nine. Looks were the main reason patients came in, ahead of bleeding, pain, and itching. The authors urge wide vaccination against the virus to cut the load of this distressing and often shaming condition.
