Summary Nine‐year‐old twin sisters presented with long‐standing severe plantar warts following bone marrow transplantation for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). Combination therapy with keratolysis, cidofovir and water‐filtered infrared coagulation (WIRA) led to complete clearance after 8 months of therapy. This dermatologic problem and the treatment of SCID including gene therapy are discussed.
