The purpose of this study was to identify the human papilloma virus in verruca plantaris by transmission electron microscopy and study the cellular effect of human papilloma virus at both the transmission electron microscopy and light histochemistry level. The authors discuss the cellular pathology in relation to early studies and keratin disorders. Features identified by transmission electron microscopy are consistent with characteristics of human papilloma virus-1.
