A papilloma virus (wart) is probably what causes horse sarcoids. A high proportion of sarcoids contain genetic material that is identical, or very closely related, to the bovine papilloma virus (BPV).sually the clinical appearance is adequate to make a diagnosis.

In a Friday news release, the FDA said Otezla users should be monitored carefully for unexplained weight loss or signs of depression.
