Cantharidin therapy: Practice patterns and attitudes of health care providers
Fri, 24 May 2013 04:22:17 +0100 | Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology
To the Editor: Cantharidin is difficult for clinicians in the United States to obtain and utilize in practice. Cantharidin met the safety requirements of the original federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938, but failure of manufacturers to provide drug efficacy data required by a 1961 amendment to the Act led to its removal from the market. Despite having no Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA)–approved indication, cantharidin is regularly used off-label in the United States for the treatment of molluscum contagiosum (MC) and verruca vulgaris (VV). Practitioners who use cantharidin acquire the compound from Canadian distributors or compounding pharmacies. Since our institution currently prohibits the use of cantharidin, we sought to investigate prescribing patterns among other...

Investigation of molluscum contagiosum virus, orf and other parapoxviruses in lymphomatoid papulosis
Fri, 24 May 2013 04:22:17 +0100 | Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology
To the Editor: Lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) is a primary cutaneous CD30+ lymphoproliferative disorder with large, atypical CD-30+ cells, which, despite their ominous appearance, also occur in reactive processes, such as CD30+ cutaneous lymphoid hyperplasia. As most causes of CD30+ cutaneous lymphoid hyperplasia are viral, we explored the possibility that poxvirus or parapoxvirus could be detected in lesions of LyP.

Abstract

Molluscum BOTE Sign: A Predictor of Imminent Resolution
Wed, 01 May 2013 04:00:00 +0100 | PEDIATRICS
We present a case report and retrospective review of 7 additional cases to characterize the clinical presentation of inflamed molluscum, assess the utilization of medical resources, and consider the psychosocial burden associated with mistaken diagnoses of bacterial infection. We propose the acronym "BOTE"* sign (for beginning of the end) to help underscore the significance of inflammation as an expected variant in the evolution of molluscum immunity. (Source: PEDIATRICS)

Pubic hair removal: a risk factor for 'minor' STI such as molluscum contagiosum?
Fri, 12 Apr 2013 04:00:00 +0100 | Sexually Transmitted Infections
Before emerging as a fashion phenomenon, removal of pubic hair was primarily done for cultural and religious reasons (eg, this is, with circumcision, one of the items of the fitra in the Muslim religion). Molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV) is a poxvirus and includes two strains: MCV1 and MCV2. MCV is generally observed in children and immunocompromised patients, and sometimes sexually transmitted. There has been an increasing incidence of sexually transmitted MCV (STMC) in the last decade.1 However, there is no proven predominance of either strain in genital lesions.2 We speculate that STMC could be linked to the use of hair removal in the genital area. We have performed a case study of the 30 new cases of STMC presenting in a private office of dermatology in Nice, France, from January 2011...

Shaving Or Waxing Pubic Hair Increases Risk Of Viral Infection
Tue, 19 Mar 2013 19:00:00 +0100 | Health News from Medical News Today
Brazilian waxes and other forms of pubic hair removal may increase the risk of viral skin infections, particularly Molluscum contagiosum. The finding came from new research published in the journal Sexually Transmitted Infections which suggested that shaving the pubic area causes 'micro-trauma' of the skin, which raises the chance of infection by a pox virus known as Molluscum contagiosum. In the past, the removal of pubic hair was only meant for religious or cultural purposes... (Source: Health News from Medical News Today)
