Pediatr Infect Dis J. 2007 Mar;26(3):265-6. doi: 10.1097/01.inf.0000253958.11585.d3.

Abstract

Conventional treatment options for anogenital warts in prepubertal children rely on chemical and physical destruction methods that can be difficult and painful and frequently require the use of general anesthesia. Other approaches include the use of immunotherapies, as topical imiquimod and intralesional or systemic interferon. We report a 7-year-old girl with extensive anogenital warts who was successfully treated with topical 5% imiquimod cream.
