Abstract

Microwave therapy is emerging as an effective, well-tolerated and safe treatment modality for cutaneous warts but there is limited data in paediatric patients. In our cohort of 35 paediatric patients with recalcitrant warts, 68.6% (24/35) demonstrated complete resolution after an average of three microwave treatment sessions. There were no reports of ulceration or blistering but 22.9% (8/35) of patients reported pain that required discontinuation of microwave therapy. This study provides evidence that microwave therapy can be used for the treatment of warts in paediatric patients.
