Abstract
There is currently an increasing interest in developing prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines against the human papillomavirus types (HPV 16, 18, 31, 33) associated with cervical. cancer. 1 Although techniques are available to produce such HPV-16 vaccines, knowledge of the natural. history of these infections is required before rational. vaccination programmes can be designed. Perinatal. transmission of HPV types 6 and 11 has been demonstrated.2 This may occasionally lead to the development of the juvenile respiratory papillomatosis. However, the perinatal. acquisition and possible persistence of the cancer associated HPV types have been largely ignored.
