What is the risk of perinatal human papillomavirus (HPV) transmission?
Despite a high prevalence of HPV DNA detection, clinical disease in children is uncommon. Perinatal transmission of HPV types 6 and 11 can lead to the development of juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JORRP) [14], but this is rare (from ncbi)
Risk of Perinatal HPV Transmission • Low risk – Transmission of HPV from mothers with latent infections to oropharyngeal mucosa of neonates • High risk predictor – Time between rupture of amnion and delivery
