title: Successful treatment of molluscum contagiosum with intralesional immunotherapy by measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine: a report of two cases.
abstract: Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is a common viral infection of the skin and mucous membrane that often affects young children. Generally, physical removal by surgical curettage is commonly used for the treatment of MC, but the pain during the treatment is a major problem. Thus immunotherapy using various antigens has been introduced recently. Here we present two cases of MC that improved with measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine intralesional injection. On the ground of our knowledge, they were the first cases of successful MMR intralesional injection in this disease entity.
