Paediatric Anogenital Condylomata Acuminata: An Assessment of Patient Characteristics and the Need for Surgical Intervention

: Anogenital Condylomata Acuminata (AGCA) are caused by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), which is one of the most common sexually transmitted illnesses in adults. Although commonly seen in the paediatric population, especially in the setting of immunocompromise, literature regarding transmission, viral type and management in this population is scant. The aim of this study was to assess the profile of patients presenting with anogenital warts in light of associated immunocompromise with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
