HPV6 Infection of an Infant's Penile Condyloma at the Urethral Meatus

Vageli DP, Doukas SG and Marko

Abstract

Penile warts in infants are rare and condylomata acuminata at the urethral meatus are rarer. This is a first report of a 2.5 years infant with a condyloma acuminatum at the urethral meatus of penis that was found positive for HPV 6, by PCR analysis. Infant’s mother presented warts on her hands, suggesting a possible transmission of virus from mother to infant via extragenital contact, without excluding a vertical transmission.
