The vaccine that protects against cancer-causing types of human papillomavirus HPV also prevents an uncommon but incurable childhood respiratory disease, the chronic and difficult-to-treat condition, recurrent respiratory papillomatosis.
The condition is thought to occur in children when HPV type 6 or 11 is spread from mother to child around the time of birth. In some children, the virus can cause wart-like, non-cancerous growths called papillomas to develop in the respiratory tract, eventually making it difficult to breathe.
