To further validate this etiology, laboratory studies reconstructed the transmission of HPV particles in laser plumes. Best et al. inoculated mice with KTP laser plumes captured after ablating HPV lesions and found visible warts in all mice exposed to KTP laser plumes. Several other scenarios and clinical experiments have consistently replicated similar results, indicating an increasing incidence in multiple medical professions. Therefore, this further supports the importance of quantifying and preventing infectious HPV laser plume exposure in the field of dermatology.
What Are the Best Prevention Measures?
Safety precautions during treatment can determine the degree of protective measures needed based on different levels of direct contact, droplet, and airborne transmission.
