Genital warts in children: problems of management.

Anogential warts are much less common in children than in adults. In children the presence of anogenital warts have been suggested as an indicator for sexual abuse because of the association of genital warts with sexual activity. Difficulties of establishing mode of transmission arise because of the long latency of human papillomavirus and possibility of vertical and non-sexual transmission. A multidisciplinary approach is advised for the proper care of children with anogenital warts.
