Abstract：
Warts caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) are generally treated with cryotherapy, CO2 laser ablation, interferon injections, and bleomycin injections. However, it is sometimes difficult to treat children because the treatment can be painful. In addition, recurrence may occur after treatment. In this study, warts completely disappeared following the administration of herbal medicine in two children, with warts in multiple parts of the hands and around the nails. Two pediatric patients visited the hospital for treatment of warts around their fingers and nails. Both patients received Taeeumjowi-tang (TJT) as a decoction for 60 days. TJT was performed twice per day for the 11-year-old patient and once per day for the 7-year-old patient. Patient progress was observed monthly, and the visual condition of the warts was photographed during the visits. After approximately two months of treatment, the warts disappeared from the fingers and nails of both patients. This case study suggests that the oral administration of TJT may be effective for pediatric patients with warts. Further studies are required to determine the efficacy and safety of these therapies.
摘要：
由人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）引起的疣通常采用冷冻疗法治疗，CO2激光烧蚀,干扰素注射，和博来霉素注射。然而,有时很难治疗儿童，因为治疗可能很痛苦。此外,治疗后可能复发。在这项研究中,两个孩子服用草药后，疣完全消失了，手的多个部位和指甲周围有疣。两名儿科患者前往医院治疗手指和指甲周围的疣。两名患者均接受Taeeumjowi-tang（TJT）作为汤剂60天。对于11岁的患者每天两次进行TJT,对于7岁的患者每天一次。每月观察患者进展，在访问期间拍摄了疣的视觉状况。经过大约两个月的治疗，疣从两个病人的手指和指甲上消失了。该病例研究表明，口服TJT可能对疣患儿有效。需要进一步的研究来确定这些疗法的有效性和安全性。
