Papillomavirus DNA was detected in each sample and was identified as HPV-6 (three cases), HPV-6 or HPV-11 (one case), or HPV-16 (one case). These viruses are the same as are responsible for genital papillomas (condylomata) of adults. The transmission of adult genital tract viruses to children occurs primarily by a venereal route but may occur by a nonvenereal route.
