“…7 Furthermore, no studies have described primary care management, including prescribing and referrals to secondary care. 8 Atopic eczema (AE) has been found to be common in children with MC, [9][10][11][12][13] and the prevalence of AE is higher in children with MC than in the general population. 14,15 However, most studies describing this association have been based in specialty dermatology clinics, 12 and have not explored the temporal relationship between the two conditions.…”

“…[1][2][3] Although MC can occur at any age, 2 peaks of incidence have been described. The first major peak occurs in school-aged children (3-9 years old), whereas the second major peak occurs in late adolescence (16-24 years).…”

“…Most MC lesions are self-limiting and resolve spontaneously within months to years. 2,5 Thus, although a number of studies propose various topical and/or surgical treatments for MC in children, most dermatologists chose to avoid painful destructive treatments and instead reassure patients and their parents that most cases resolve spontaneously in 1 to 4 years. [6][7][8] However, considerable debate exists about the management of MC and, according to a recent Cochrane review, no single intervention has been shown to be convincingly effective in clearing this disease.…”

Recognizing and Managing Eczematous Id Reactions to Molluscum Contagiosum Virus in Children

Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a self-limiting cutaneous viral eruption that is very common in children. MC infection can trigger an eczematous reaction around molluscum papules known as a hypersensitivity or an id reaction. In addition, a hypersensitivity reaction can occasionally occur at sites distant from the primary molluscum papules. These eczematous reactions are often asymptomatic or minimally pruritic. We believe that id reactions represent an immunologically mediated host response to MC virus and a harbinger of regression. Therefore, these reactions often do not require treatment other than emollients. Moreover, topical steroids or immunomodulators may suppress this process and potentiate the spread of the primary MC infection. However, in symptomatic patients, treatment should not be withheld and short-course treatments of topical corticosteroids may be used. In this case series, we describe 3 cases of hypersensitivity reactions in otherwise healthy children with MC. We hope that our report will make clinicians more aware of this common eczematous response to MC and will improve the management and counseling of these patients and their parents.

We present a case of disseminated Molluscum contagiosum (MC), occurring in an ornamental bird breeder with poorly-controlled atopic eczema. The Molluscum poxvirus has been identified histologically in birds; and lesions in atopic dermatitis tend to be more extensive with a protracted clinical course. We review the literature regarding MC and reflect on its clinical aspects, risk for dissemination, management and interestingly its association with various bird species.
