Abstract

Cutaneous warts are widespread in the worldwide population. Cutaneous warts are the most common cutaneous infection occurring when immune function is impaired. High immunity leading to wart regression is essentially universal, but poorly understood. Hereby, it is worth mentioning that, to the best of our knowledge, the serum levels of IL17 cytokine profile were not studied in cutaneous warts before.
