Molluscum contagiosum is a common cutaneous disease that may be difficult to treat when there are multiple lesions; especially in children. This study was conducted to determine the efficacy of pulsed dye laser (585 nm) in the treatment of molluscum contagiosum in 20 children. In the treated group, 70.5% of lesions healed after the first treatment; the remaining 10.6% after the second treatment (2 weeks later). The overall cure rate was significantly different from the control group (p< 0.01). The therapy was also well tolerated. Only mild transient hypopigmentation and erythema were observed. None encountered infectious events. In conclusion, pulsed dye laser is a good alternative treatment for molluscum contagiosum due to high efficacy and mild transient side effects.
传染性软疣是一种常见的皮肤病,当出现多个皮损时可能难以治疗,尤其是在儿童中。本研究旨在确定脉冲染料激光(585nm)对20名儿童传染性软疣的治疗效果。在治疗组中,70.5%的皮损在首次治疗后愈合;其余10.6%在第二次治疗(2周后)后愈合。总体治愈率与对照组有显著差异(p<0.01)。该治疗耐受性也良好。仅观察到轻度短暂性色素减退和红斑。未发生感染事件。总之,由于疗效高且副作用轻微短暂,脉冲染料激光是治疗传染性软疣的一种良好替代疗法。
