To the best of our knowledge, in the several large-scale studies available for HPV infection in the newborn, no case of HPV 6/11 infection had been identified. Most of these studies had specimens taken from the oral cavity of newborn. In contrast to the occurrence of JORRP in the larynx, trachea and lower respiratory tract, if vertical transmission of HPV 6/11 does exist, specimens from lower respiratory tract of newborn is mandatory to detect any possible infection.
