Grade 3 anal intraepithelial neoplasia in an HIV-infected African girl

Pediatr Infect Dis J. 2013 Mar;32(3):254-6. doi: 10.1097/INF.0b013e318288f912.

Abstract

Women with HIV infection are at increased risk of anogenital dysplasia and cancer, related to human papillomavirus infection. These neoplasms are rare in perinatally HIV-infected girls before onset of sexual activity. We report a case of high-grade anal dysplasia in a 10-year-old African girl with untreated perinatal HIV infection.
