ABSTRACT
Introduction: an increase in pediatric patients with condyloma acuminata has been identified.Objective: to assess the effectiveness of homeopathic medicines in the treatment of condyloma acuminata in children from 1 month to 18 years at Pepe Portilla Pediatric Provincial Teaching Hospital in Pinar del Río between the years 2014 and 2015.
Methods: a longitudinal and prospective descriptive study was carried out on a sampling target group of 33 children, referred by the Dermatologist to the Bioenergetic and Natural Medicine consultation at Pepe Portilla Pediatric Provincial Teaching Hospital in Pinar del Río, Cuba, during the years 2014-2015, performing a follow-up until 2018. Topical and systemic homeopathic medicines were chosen to apply to them.
Results: there was no predominance of gender, the age most represented was 13-18 years, and the most frequent location was genital regions, predominantly cauliflower clinical morphology, the most frequent type of transmission was by sexual contact. In four patients sexual abuse was corroborated, in the rest of the cases by hetero inoculation, the evolution was satisfactory with the appearance of lesions in the third year of their follow-up.
Conclusions: genital-anal warts are a challenge for the pediatricians and pediatric dermatologists; basically because of their mechanisms of transmission. Homeopathic medicines were effective in the treatment of condyloma acuminata in children.
