Abstract

Molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV) is a DNA virus in the Poxviridae family that may cause extensive and voluminous lesions often resistant to topical therapies in patients with AIDS and other immunocompromised patients. We present a case of eruptive giant molluscum that caused remarkable deformity in a patient with AIDS. Intravenous (IV) cidofovir was used as therapy, resulting in dramatic improvement.
