ABSTRACT
Genital wart is a benign lesion which is caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV) type-6 or type-11 infection. Liu et al. found an overall HPV prevalence of 16.82% in pregnant women vs. 12.25% in non-pregnant women [1]. The persistence of HPV is arguably favored as the maternal hormonal environment and immune system undergo significant changes during pregnancy.[2] Here, we report an interesting case of 30 year old primigravida with vaginal warty growth.
