Abstract

Anogenital warts are one of the most common infections affecting people of all ages and genders. This disease can lead to serious consequences, including the development of cancer. The purpose of the work is to conduct a literature review on the topic of anogenital warts. Most anogenital warts are caused by human papillomavirus types 6 and 11. Human papillomaviruses are extremely common in nature and the human population, and over time, the issues of therapy for anogenital viral warts caused by papillomaviruses become more and more relevant. In this paper, an analysis of modern scientific articles that describe various aspects of this disease was carried out. Issues such as the causes of anogenital warts, methods of diagnosis and treatment, as well as the prevention and control of the spread of this disease were considered. The results obtained allow us to conclude that anogenital warts are a serious problem for public health and require serious attention from medical science and practice. In conclusion, this work is a useful literature review that can be used as input for further research in the field of anogenital warts, as well as in the development of methods for the prevention and treatment of this disease.
