Hypothesis
Condyloma acuminata can be transmitted nonsexually from mother to child.
Conclusion
The case demonstrates that condyloma acuminata can be transmitted nonsexually, and laser therapy is effective for treatment.
Supporting Evidence
- Condyloma acuminata can appear in children through nonsexual transmission.
- The mother had genital warts during pregnancy, which may have transmitted the virus to the child.
- Laser therapy is effective and promotes rapid healing with minimal scarring.
Takeaway
A baby got warts from her mom, not from playing or touching. Doctors used a special laser to help her get better.
Methodology
The child was treated with carbon dioxide laser therapy under general anesthesia.
Potential Biases
Potential bias in reporting due to the nature of a case report.
Limitations
The study is based on a single case report, limiting generalizability.
Participant Demographics
A 13-month-old female patient.
