Introduction. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of cases of anogenital warts, with localization in the urethra, which present significant difficulties in management tactics due to the high frequency of relapses, progression of clinical manifestations and damage to underlying tissues. According to a systematic review including PubMed and EMBASE data, severe anogenital warts may be associated with a decrease in local and systemic immunity, a decrease in the level of vitamin 25(OH)D and zinc in the blood serum. The search for methods to increase the effectiveness of therapy for anogenital warts is a very urgent problem.

The complex therapy included treatment with the extract of Solanum tuberosum (Panavir) in the form: Panavir solution, Panavir-gel, Panavir-Intim spray and topical use of imichimod and surgical destruction of genital warts.
Results. Monitoring patients for 6 months showed the remission of 23 men, reccurent warts in the distal section of urethra – 2 patients.
