Overview
Molluscum contagiosum may be classified according to virus subtypes, based on the restriction endonuclease analysis into 4 different subtypes. Type 1 is the most commonly seen subtype.
Classification
- Molluscum contagiosum may be classified according to restriction endonuclease analysis into 4 different subtypes:[1]
- MCV-1: Highest prevalence
- MCV-2: Often seen in adults and is sexually transmitted.
- MCV-3
- MCV-4
- Molluscum contagiosum may also be classified based on the presentation of the lesions to:
- Molluscum dermatitis: Eczematous patches or plaques surrounding molluscum contagiosum lesions.
- Inflamed molluscum contagiosum: Erythema and swelling of individual lesions, is a clinical finding that may portend a higher likelihood of impending clinical improvement.
