Study summary

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of intralesional injection of acyclovir versus candida antigen in plantar wart patients will be randomly divided into 2 groups,At least 20 patients will be enrolled in each group.

Group 1: will be treated with intralesional injection of acyclovir 250 mg acyclovir vial diluted with 3.5 ml saline to get approximately 70 mg/ml solution. The base of each wart was injected with 0.1 ml of intralesional acyclovir (70 mg/ml) every 2 weeks until the resolution of warts or for a maximum of 5 sessions Group 2: will be treated by intralesional Candida antigen injection (candida antigen ) at a dose of 0.2 mL. injected into the largest wart every 2 weeks until complete clearance of warts or for a maximum of 5 treatment sessions.

3.Patient evaluation: Assessment of treatment efficacy and side effects will be carried out by clinical examination and comparative photographic evaluation and dermoscopy

patients will be randomly divided into 2 groups, group (1) and group (2). At least 20 patients will be enrolled in each group.

Group 1: will be treated with intralesional injection of acyclovir (Acyclovir 250mg Powder for Solution for Infusion, each vial contains 250mg of acyclovir as the sodium salt, Chandra Bhagat Pharma Pvt. Ltd) 250 mg acyclovir vial diluted with 3.5 ml saline to get approximately 70 mg/ml solution. During the study, the dosage of the drug and frequency of treatment were uniform in all patients. The base of each wart was injected with 0.1 ml of intralesional acyclovir (70 mg/ml) using an insulin syringe (29 Gage × 0.5-in) every 2 weeks until the resolution of warts or for a maximum of 5 sessions

Group 2: will be treated by intralesional Candida antigen injection (candida antigen ) at a dose of 0.2 mL. injected into the largest wart using an insulin syringe (29 Gage × 0.5-in) every 2 weeks until complete clearance of warts or for a maximum of 5 treatment sessions.

patients will be followed up for 3months after treatment.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. degree of improvment of wart after intralesional injection of acyclovir and candida antigen

    1. complete response: when 100% complete disappearance of the wart. 2. partial response: if there is 50% to 99% reduction in its original diameter. 3. no response: if there reduction in its size \<50% .

    Time frame: 3months after treatment.
