Description

Infantile perianal warts are benign growths that occur around the anal area in infants and young children, often caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). These warts can be asymptomatic or may cause discomfort, and they typically require medical evaluation for proper management.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that this term may be confused with general warts or other skin lesions. It's important to maintain a clinical tone and avoid colloquial terms. Some may refer to them simply as 'verrugas' without specifying the perianal location, which should be avoided in formal contexts.

Example Sentences

EN: The pediatrician diagnosed the child with infantile perianal warts during the examination.

ES: El pediatra diagnosticó al niño con verrugas perianales infantiles durante el examen.
