Indonesian "Tree Man" Continues Treatment For Human Papilloma Virus

BANDUNG, WEST JAVA, INDONESIA - DECEMBER 18: Indonesian man Dede Koswara (L) talks with his friend Sakim in his home village on December 18, 2009 in Bandung, Java, Indonesia. Due to a rare genetic problem with Dede's immune system he has been unable to fight the HPV infection or Human Papilloma Virus causing his body to produce tree like warts mostly on his arms and legs. Dede's family, including his two children, have supported him while he has suffered with the debilitating virus. Following a diagnosis by US doctor Dr Anthony Gaspari, Dede has been able to start treatment for the warts which will improve his quality of life. Sakim, who also suffers from another rare skin condition, performs with Dede and others as part of a circus troupe to earn a living. (Photo by Ulet Ifansasti/Getty Images)
