Molluscum Contagiosum
a common bath. Not much work has been done from the point of view of the treatment of the disease and the production of immunity so as to prevent epidemics which may be a serious menace in boarding schools. The disease is said to be self-limiting. Though this may be so it still runs a long course ?at least six months?and within that time there is the danger of infecting several people or of sta...
متن کاملFunctional characterization of the C---C chemokine-like molecules encoded by molluscum contagiosum virus types 1 and 2.
Many viruses have evolved mechanisms for evading the host immune system by synthesizing proteins that interfere with the normal immune response. The poxviruses are among the most accomplished at deceiving their hosts' immune systems. The nucleotide sequence of the genome of the human cutaneous poxvirus, molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV) type 1, was recently reported to contain a region that res...
متن کاملSeroprevalence of Molluscum contagiosum Virus in German and UK Populations
Molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV) is a significant but underreported skin pathogen for children and adults. Seroprevalence studies can help establish burden of disease. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based studies have been published for Australian and Japanese populations and the results indicate seroprevalences between 6 and 22 percent in healthy individuals, respectively. To inves...
متن کاملSolitary molluscum contagiosum.
A 7-year-old girl presented with solitary, asymptomatic, nodule near right angle of mouth for 8 months. The lesion started as a small papule and increased in size over time. The child was otherwise healthy. On examination, single erythematous nodule measuring 1 cm, and of soft to firm consistency, was seen near the right angle of mouth. The top of the lesion was eroded and covered with crust. R...
متن کاملMolluscum contagiosum virus topoisomerase: purification, activities, and response to inhibitors.
Molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV), the only member of the Molluscipoxvirus genus, causes benign papules in healthy people but disfiguring lesions in immunocompromised patients. The sequence of MCV has been completed, revealing that MCV encodes a probable type I topoisomerase enzyme. All poxviruses sequenced to date also encode type I topoisomerases, and in the case of vaccinia virus the topoiso...
