Abstract:Objective: To explore the effect of imiquimod on cervical condyloma acuminate accompanied with high-risk HPV infections, and the content of HPV-DNA. Methods: One hundred and twenty female patients with cervical condyloma acuminate and high-risk HPV infections were randomly divided into treatment goup and control group, and each group was administered either 5% imiquimod local treatment or high frequency cauterization. The dropping of verrucous, wound healing, recurrence and adverse reactions between the two groups were analyzed. HPV gene sequencing was conducted, and the viral load of HPV-DNA was compared before and after treatment between the two groups. Results: At 4, 8, 12 weeks after treatment, the clearance rate of verrucous were 25.0% (13/52), 65.4% (34/52), and 84.6% (44/52) in the treatment group, respectively. Meanwhile, the clearance rate of verrucous were 30.9% (17/55), 70.9% (39/55), and 74.5% (41/55), respectively. There were no significant differences between two groups (P>0.05). The recurrence rate was 10.2% (5/52) in the treatment group, which was significantly lower compared to the control group (P<0.05). HPV gene sequencing showed that HPV type 16 was most common in cervical condyloma acuminate in our hospital, followed by type 52 and 58. After 3 and 6 months follow-up, HPV negative conversion rate in treatment group was 28.2% (15/52) and 59.6% (31/52), and statistically significant over that of 12.7% (7/55) and 27.3% (15/55) in the control group. Besides, the viral load of HPV-DNA in the treatment group was significantly lower compared to the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: 5% imiquimod can remove verrucous of cervical condyloma acuminate and additionally prevent recurrence and cure high-risk HPV. This result shows that 5% imiquimod is effective in the treatment and the prevention of relapse cervical condyloma acuminate.
