  • Title: Recalcitrant molluscum contagiosum in an HIV-afflicted male treated successfully with topical imiquimod.
    Author: Brown CW, O'Donoghue M, Moore J, Tharp M.
    Journal: Cutis; 2000 Jun; 65(6):363-6. PubMed ID: 10879304.
    Abstract:
    Molluscum contagiosum is a common cutaneous infection complicating the course of patients afflicted with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. We describe a human immunodeficiency virus-positive patient with a disfiguring molluscum contagiosum infection of the face. Conventional cytodestructive therapies failed in this patient, but imiquimod 5% cream, an immunomodulator, clinically cleared his cutaneous disease.
