Molluscum contagiosum (MC) is caused by a double stranded DNA virus belonging to the pox virus family. MC lesions are usually pearly, dome shaped, small, discrete lesions with central umbilication. In HIV-positive patients atypical varieties are found. They may be large or nonumbilicated. Individual papules may join to form the agminate variety. This form is rare. Lesions of MC in healthy immunocompetent patients may occur at any part of the body including face, trunk, and limbs. Sexually active adults have lesions usually on the genitalia, pubis, and inner thigh, rarely on the face and scalp. We present a case of agminate MC occurring in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency disease responding to highly active antiretroviral therapy.
传染性软疣（MC）由一种属于痘病毒科的双链DNA病毒引起。MC损害通常为珍珠样、圆顶形、小的、孤立的损害，中央有脐凹。在HIV阳性患者中可发现非典型类型。它们可能较大或无脐凹。单个丘疹可融合形成簇状类型。这种类型很罕见。健康免疫功能正常患者的MC损害可发生于身体的任何部位，包括面部、躯干和四肢。性活跃的成年人的损害通常位于生殖器、耻骨和大腿内侧，很少见于面部和头皮。我们报告1例获得性免疫缺陷病患者在接受高效抗逆转录病毒治疗后出现簇状MC的病例。
