Abstract:
Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a common viral infection in children that affects the skin and oral mucous membranes. It is caused by the molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV), a double-stranded DNA virus in the Poxviridae family. Transmission takes place via direct skin contact, self-inoculation, and exposure to contaminated objects. Clinically, it is characterized by the presence of a single or multiple enlarged dome-shaped or doughnut-shaped flesh-colored papules with central umbilication, usually called \"mollusca\". The diagnosis of MC is based mainly on clinical observations, in addition to histopathological examinations to reveal characteristic molluscum bodies, also known as Henderson-Patterson bodies. Current treatment methods include mechanical, chemical, immune modulation, and antiviral treatments. In this context, we present a case involving a 42-year-old male infected with MC, outlining both the clinical and histopathological findings.
摘要:
传染性软疣(MC)是儿童常见的病毒感染,会影响皮肤和口腔粘膜。它是由传染性软体动物病毒(MCV)引起的,痘病毒科中的一种双链DNA病毒。通过皮肤直接接触进行传输,自我接种,和接触受污染的物体。临床上,它的特征是存在单个或多个扩大的圆顶形或甜甜圈形的肉色丘疹,具有中央脐状,通常称为“软体动物”。MC的诊断主要基于临床观察,除了组织病理学检查以揭示特征软体动物的身体,也被称为亨德森-帕特森尸体。目前的治疗方法包括机械,化学,免疫调节,和抗病毒治疗。在这种情况下,我们提出一例42岁男性感染MC,概述了临床和组织病理学发现。
