Condylomata acuminata occurred intraorally in a 6 year old Nigerian girl. Since she had no skin or genital lesions and no history of sexual contact, the virus was probably acquired from environmental sources. Non-sexual modes of transmission should, therefore, be considered, particularly when the lesions are extragenital.

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common infection of the anogenital tract. Although most infections clear, persistent infections with oncogenic types can predispose to cancer. While the natural history of anogenital HPV infection in cisgendered women is relatively well understood, there are significant knowledge gaps regarding HPV prevalence and clinical implications of genital HPV infection in transgender women (TGW) with neovagina(s).

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections rank as the most prevalent sexually transmitted infections globally. The Brazilian Ministry of Health recommends the topical use of 70%-90% trichloroacetic acid (TAA) for treating condyloma acuminata, yet this method suffers from a high recurrence rate of 36% and requires roughly six applications. Topical photodynamic therapy (PDT) has shown effectiveness in targeting subclinical lesions, but it also necessitates multiple sessions for complete lesion clearance.

Infantile perianal pyramidal protrusion is characterized by a light pink to skin-colored soft tissue protrusion that is often midline and anterior [A1]to the anus. It most commonly occurs in young females and is relatively asymptomatic. Although biopsies are not routinely done, histopathology is relatively nonspecific and can appear similar to an acrochordon.

Article Synopsis
- Viral infections, such as plantar warts and herpes labialis, are prevalent among young competitive swimmers, with a study examining 1,047 swimmers in Greek clubs revealing significant correlations with age and years of training.
- The study found that outdoor practice environments led to higher infection rates, and specific behaviors like walking barefoot and sharing equipment were linked to increased risks of herpes simplex and plantar warts.
- Effective prevention strategies, including proper hygiene and medical guidance, are crucial to minimizing the impact of these infections on swimmers' health and performance.
