      interferon alpha-2 alpha.

AB  - This study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of Interferon administered 
      parenterally in the treatment of flat or accuminata condylomata of the female 
      genital tract. One hundred and forty-three women with condylomata were treated 
      with CO2 laser vaporization, 5-FU topical application and interferon alpha-2 
      alpha (IFN alpha-2 alpha) parenterally. The cure rates in the various treatment 
      groups were analysed by the chi-square test. The cure rates of the treatments 
      used in the patients with condylomata accuminata were similar (p>0.1). The best 
      cure rate for flat condylomata was achieved with the combination of CO2 laser 
      vaporization plus 5-FU plus IFN alpha-2 alpha (high dose) (p<0.01). In 
      conclusion, Interferon can be used as adjuvant treatment in patients with 
      recalcitrant condylomata accuminata and as first line treatment in combination 
      with 5-FU and CO2 laser vaporization in patients with flat condylomata.
