| Abstract | Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a skin and mucous membrane infection caused by the molluscum virus (MCV). To evaluate safety and efficacy of intralesional injection of tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD) antigen injection versus MMR (mumps, measles, rubella) antigen for the treatment of molluscum contagiosum (MC). A total of thirty clinically confirmed patients of molluscum were recruited for this trial. Patients who were divided into three groups (A, B and C). Each group consisted of (30) patients. Group (A) subjects received intralesional MMR injections, group (B) subjects received intralesional PPD injection and group (C) received intralesional saline injection. The results of the present study revealed complete clearance of the injected lesions in 12 patients (80%), partial response in 3 patients (20%) of group (A). In group (B), complete clearance of the treated warts was observed in 11 patients (73.3%) and partial response in 4 (26.7%) of patients. In group (C), the majority of patients 8 (53.3%) demonstrated no response while 7 (46.7%) patients showed only partial clearance. We established a good safety and efficacy profile for tuberculin PPD and MMR antigens in treatment of molluscum contagiosum. |
