Eruptive Condyloma Accuminata after Initiation of Infliximab Treatment for Folliculitis Decalvans

Abstract EN

We report a patient with recalcitrant folliculitis decalvans who was placed on infliximab due to failure to respond to numerous immunosuppressive drugs and antibiotics.

After the second infusion of infliximab the patient reported a cutaneous eruption to the bilateral groin, penis, scrotum, perineum, and perianal region consistent with genital warts.

The case highlights the need to inquire about a past or current history of genital or anal warts prior to the initiation of anti-TNF therapy, particularly with infliximab.

If present, consideration should be given to concurrent antiwart therapy.
