J O Ashiru, B O Ogunbanjo, N A Rotowa

    The British Journal of Venereal Diseases
    |October 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Intraoral condylomata acuminata, a human papillomavirus infection, was diagnosed in a young Nigerian girl. Environmental transmission is suspected due to the absence of typical risk factors, highlighting non-sexual transmission routes.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Infectious Diseases
    • Dermatology
    • Virology

    Background:

    • Condylomata acuminata, commonly known as genital warts, are typically associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection.
    • Genital HPV types are usually transmitted through sexual contact.
    • Intraoral lesions are rare, especially in children without a history of sexual contact.

    Observation:

    • A 6-year-old Nigerian girl presented with intraoral condylomata acuminata.
    • The patient had no concurrent skin or genital lesions.
    • There was no reported history of sexual contact.

    Findings:

    • The intraoral condylomata acuminata in this case were likely acquired through non-sexual transmission.
    • Environmental or casual contact routes are plausible modes of transmission for extragenital HPV infections in children.

  • This case challenges the assumption of sexual transmission for all condylomata acuminata cases.

    • Implications:

    • Healthcare providers should consider non-sexual transmission of HPV, particularly for extragenital condylomata acuminata in pediatric patients.
    • Environmental hygiene and awareness of casual contact transmission are important in preventing HPV infections in children.
    • Further research into non-sexual HPV transmission routes is warranted to inform public health strategies.
