Abstract: Condylomata acuminata（CA） is one of the most common viral sexually transmitted diseases （STDs） in China. It is a highly contagious STD caused by some types of human papillomavirus（HPV）, especially low-risk HPV 6 and 11, particularly the former. CA is spread directly through the skin/mucosa-to-skin/mucosa contact, usually during oral, genital, or anal sexual contact with an infected partner. Clinical presentation is mostly of hyperplastic lesion in the anogenital region. The treatment principle is included the excision of wart, improved symptom and reduced recurrence. The prevention of HPV can be achieved by the HPV vaccine. However, there are different advantages and disadvantages in the existing methods of detection and treatment of CA.
