Abstract
Flat warts, mainly caused by human papillomavirus types 3 and 10, have a high rate of spontaneous remission, Those warts that do not disappe ar by themselves can be very difficult to treat, In our study we compa red the efficacy of topical tretinoin, topical interferon beta and the combination of both substances in the treatment of flat warts. The co mbination of both substances proved to be considerably more effective than either alone.
