title: Systemic treatment of mollusca contagiosa with inosiplex.
abstract: The ensuing regression of mollusca contagiosa in 7 of 9 children, 6 of whom were suffering from atopic dermatitis, was observed during systemic treatment with inosiplex. In our report the involutional process of mollusca contagiosa did not differ clinically from the inflammatory course observed in spontaneous healing. It is supposed that inosiplex enhances underlying defective immunological mechanisms which lead to a restoration of the host defence.
