Özet
<p> There has been intensive research into HPVs in both young and older children, covering cutaneous and genital condylomata, RRP in boys and girls below and above the age of 1 year and the occurrence of cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions in girls during adolescence. The beginning of this research push was in 1978, with the publication of the frst study investigating paediatric cases of HPV, authored by Pfster and zur Hausen. Studies have been undertaken all across the globe to understand HPV in children, taking advantage of advances in molecular methods, notably PCR (polymerase chain reaction). This area of study has achieved prominence alongside the development and clinical deployment of vaccines targeting HPV. This chapter reviews the history of efforts to understand HPV in children, which have led up to our current knowledge of HPV in this age group.</p>
