SummaryBackgroundWe evaluate the effectiveness of combination treatment using photodynamic therapy after carbon dioxide laser in preventing the recurrence of condylomata acuminata for intraanal warts in HIV positive homosexual men. A retrospective survey of 41 patients referred to the STD clinic of the Fourth People's Hospital of Shenzhen for the treatment of intraanal warts among HIV positive homosexual men between Janurary 2009 and September 2011.MethodsThe patients who accepted CO2 laser monotherapy for the same diagnosis were used as the comparison group. After the confirmation of the diagnosis of HIV infection and intraanal warts, the patients were treated with the combination treatment using PDT with 5-ALA thermal gel immediately after CO2 laser ablation of the warts. PDT was performed with irradiation of 100 J/cm2 at an irradiance of 100–150 mW/cm2 with a semiconductor laser, wavelength 635 nm. PDT therapy was repeated twice with 2 weekly intervals. Follow up examinations including an anoscopy every 4 weeks after the latest PDT.ResultsAfter 3 cycles of PDT treatments, 39 cases of anoscopy examination showed no new or recurrent lesions. At the end of the sixth months, recurrence occurred in 12(29%) cases. HPV 11 was present in 6 (50%) of these recurrences. HPV 6/11 or 16/18 remains positive in 19 cases (46.3%) and HPV negative in 22 cases.ConclusionsThe combination treatment with CO2 laser and PDT is much more effective in reducing the treatment cycles and the time intervals of the whole treatment for intraanal warts in HIV infected people.
