Abstract
A document prepared by a multidisciplinary task force provides recommendations on medical
evaluation of suspected sexually abused pre-pubertal children. The document identifies the
objectives and the environmental requisites for the assessment, describes how best to collect
the history and carry out the physical examination, particularly of the genital area. A classification
of the physical findings is proposed as well as criteria for differential diagnosis and
for evaluating the likelihood of the sexual abuse. Indications are given on when and how to
investigate for sexually transmitted disease and, finally, on how to prepare an appropriate
medical report.
