Isotretinoin and Candida immunotherapy for recalcitrant warts in solid organ transplant recipients

Abstract

Treatment of recalcitrant warts in solid organ transplant recipients (SOTR) can pose a therapeutic challenge for dermatologists. Successful treatment of recalcitrant warts can serve as secondary prevention for skin cancer in those with chronic immunosuppression. Given the heterogeneity of associated comorbid conditions in SOTR, clinical trials are difficult to conduct in this high‐risk population, therefore, our clinical practice is mostly driven by observed responses from studies in immunocompetent patients or from case reports of immunocompromised patients. The combination of systemic retinoids and candida immunotherapy likely provide the most effective treatment for recalcitrant warts in SOTR. However, many SOTR have chronic renal insufficiency and are not candidates for Acitretin therapy. We provide two cases of recalcitrant warts in SOTR successfully treated with Isotretinoin in the setting of impaired renal function.
