Anogenital Condyloma Acuminata In A Toddler: The Dilemma Of Sexual Abuse Versus Non-Abuse.

Abstract

Condyloma acuminata, commonly known as genital warts, is a sexually transmitted infection. We have been seeing a surge in the paediatric population with no discernable thought of sexual abuse. this scenario begs for answers. HPV infection is a real burden in the Lower Middle-Income Countries, requiring the urgent attention it deserves. Soon or later we may be seeing HPV associated malignancies at a much younger age due to the double burden of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus. A molecular epidemiological study on our patients or community is warranted.
