title: Molluscum contagiosum clears atopic dermatitis: a case report.
abstract: A 14-year-old patient with severe widespread atopic dermatitis (AD) and concurrent molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV) presented with MCV papules that were surrounded by dermatitis-free zones. It appeared that components inhibited the expression of AD, with inhibitory effects that persisted throughout 6 years of follow-up, even in the presence of a Staphylococcus aureus infection, which was proven by skin culture.
