Paediatric Anogenital Condylomata Acuminata: An assessment of patient characteristics and the need for surgical intervention.

Background: 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).

Do social circumstances dictate a change in the setup of an anorectal malformation clinic?

Background/purpose: To assess the number of patients seen at the colorectal clinic of a low-to-middle income-country with emphasis on their social circumstances.

Methods: Between January 2013 and December 2018 we recorded the number of visits to colorectal clinic. From February 2019 prospective data on patients with anorectal malformations (ARMs) focusing on their social conditions (type of housing and sanitation) and HIV-exposure were collected.
