Abstract:
Fourteen cases of anogenital warts in children are reported. Girls were more frequently affected than boys (9/5). Three children had been infected during birth; two had autoinfection from non-anogenital warts; two girls had apparently been sexually abused. In the remaining 7 cases the origin of the warts was unknown. The authors discuss the epidemiological, therapeutic and social implications of this little known but important paediatric pathology, pointing to the possibility of sexual transmission in cases of "apparently" unknown origin.
