| description | Molluscum Contagiosum (MC) is a common viral infection of skin caused by a double stranded DNA Pox virus affecting both adults and
children. MC is primarily an infection of school-going children (one to five years), occasionally it affects adults and immunocompromised
individuals. Transmission of virus occurs by direct contact with infected person or contaminated objects. Most common sites are skin
of face, trunk and extremities in children, genitals in adults and rarely palms, soles and mucous membranes. The occurrence of MC
in genitals is lowest (3%). We present a case report of Molluscum Contagiosum of cervix which is a rare site; only one case has been
reported in medical literature till date. |
