The immunocompromised population is at particular risk because of a higher incidence of malignant transformation. Lesions in this population may prove refractory to standard treatment. This is part II of a two-part review that will discuss the treatment of condyloma acuminata and vaginal, vulvar, penile, and anal intraepithelial neoplasias. This article will provide an updated review of available treatments, with a focus on recent advances and the challenges faced in successfully treating human papillomavirus lesions in the immunocompromised host.

These conditions are of particular concern in immunocompromisedHuman papillomavirus (HPV) is responsible for common condyloma acuminata and a number of premalignant and malignant anogenital lesions. These conditions are of particular concern in immunocompromised individuals who have higher risk of malignant transformation and are more difficult to treat. This is part I of a two-part review that will highlight the cutaneous features of condyloma acuminata and vaginal, vulvar, penile, and anal intraepithelial neoplasias, with an emphasis on presentation of these HPV-mediated diseases in the immunocompromised host. Counseling patients about these conditions requires a thorough understanding of the epidemiology, natural history of HPV, transmission and infectivity, risk of malignancy, and the role of the host immune response in clearing HPV lesions. Part II will provide an updated review of available treatments, with a focus on recent advances and the challenges faced in successfully treating HPV lesions in immunocompromised patients.
