Abstract
The diagnosis in a child of any infection that is usually sexually transmitted in adults should raise the suspicion of possible sexual abuse. We know sexual abuse is a common childhood experience. The American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Child Abuse and Neglect has rated the implications of sexually transmitted diseases for diagnosing sexual abuse (Table 6).Keywords
