ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to study the
epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic and evolutionary aspects of anogenital
warts in Benin. A retrospective cohort study was conducted over a 4-year period
from January 1st, 2013 to December 31st, 2016 at the
Dermatology-Venerology Clinic of Cotonou. A total of 74 patients, including 67
men and middle aged 35.1 ± 10.3 years, were received for anogenital condyloma
during the study period, accounting for 2.1% of the total and 28.2% of patients
were received for sexually transmitted infection. The most common clinical form
was acuminated condyloma (61 cases; 82.4%). HIV serology was positive in 12
patients (16.2%). Therapeutically, the use of electrocoagulation was systematic
in 80% of cases. The evolvement is noticeable when 37% of the cases were
recidivated and the rate of loss of sight after the first consultation was 60.8%.
Early diagnosis and improvement of the technical platform will help to improve
the quality of care for these patients.
