Molluscum contagiosum virus types in genital and non-genital lesions.
The endonuclease digest patterns of viral DNA from 48 genital and 45 non-genital molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV) lesions were examined. The overall ratio of MCVI to MCVII was 3.23:1. There was no predominance of either MCV type in genital lesions. No obvious morphological differences were seen between MCVI and MCVII lesions. MCVII was not found in any patient under 15 years old.
