Human papillomavirus (HPV)-related diseases, including cancers, low-grade neoplasia, genital warts, and recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, have a substantial impact on public health. The increasing incidence of HPV infection and genital warts highlights the need for an effective strategy for the management of this disease. Immunization holds the promise of reducing the overall burden of clin...

The authors describe the case of a 5-year-old girl with recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis (RLP) due to human papillomavirus (HPV) type 11, who required frequent surgical treatment.

They are low-risk HPV types that are uncommonly found in malignant lesions. GWs are an extremely prevalent sexually transmitted isease, whereas RRP is a rare disease that can be life threatening and requires multiple surgical procedures. GWs and RRP cause subst...
