title: [Cidofovir activity in infantile recurrent respiratory papillomatosis].
abstract: We report the case of a 4 year old boy that arrived to our department refering a 4 months history of dysphony complicated in the last week with inspiratory estridor. He was diagnosed of respiratory papillomatosis. In the next 10 months he underwent 6 operations to remove papillomas with CO2 laser. In the last operation we decided to add adjuvant therapy with intralesional injections of cidofovir once all papillomas had been removed. After more than a year of monitoring he remains disease free.
