[Human papillomavirus--(HPV)/balanoposthitis--a new disease?].

Two cases of symptom-producing balanoposthitis associated with Human papillomavirus infection are described. These patients had spotty, macular, erythematous rash on the glans penis and prepuce. The symptoms and objective findings resemble those of Candida infection but the diagnosis can be established by histological examination of biopsy from the acetowhite elements.
