Individuals with treatment-resistant warts frequently have immune deficiencies. Amino-peptidases (ERAP1, ERAP2) of the endoplasmic reticulum are essential for the production of antigenic epitopes that attach to the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class I and activate T-lymphocytes or natural killer (NK) cells.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Aim<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>To assess ERAP1 and ERAP2 serum concentrations in patients with resistant warts.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The current study included 200 subjects. They were split into 2 groups. Group (I) patients had resistant warts (n = 100), and group (II) age- and sex-matched subjects had a history of treated warts with no recurrence (n = 100). Clinical assessment and ERAP1 and ERAP2 serum level determination via ELISA were conducted.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>ERAP1 and ERAP2 levels were significantly lower in group (I) than in group (II) (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.0001 for each). A significant positive relationship was observed between ERAP1 and ERAP2 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001). A significant negative correlation was found between ERAP1, ERAP2, the number of warts, and a number of recurrences (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt;
