Molluscum contagiosum is a common tropical contagious viral infection, involving the skin and the mucous membranes. Ophthalmic molluscum contagiosum is a relatively uncommon condition presenting as secondary follicular conjunctivitis or kerato-conjunctivitis and may present with or without obvious dermal skin lesions. Often, unsuspected and misdiagnosed by eye care providers or observed as a concomitant feature by a skin care provider, unilateral conjunctivitis due to molluscum contagiosum remains easily treatable. Clearance of the primary skin lesion leads to rapid and complete resolution of ophthalmic signs. Two cases of ophthalmic molluscum contagiosum treated successfully with oral antiviral drug acyclovir are presented herewith as anecdotal therapeutic evidence.
传染性软疣是一种常见的热带传染性病毒感染，累及皮肤和黏膜。眼部传染性软疣是一种相对不常见的病症，表现为继发性滤泡性结膜炎或角结膜炎，可能伴有或不伴有明显的皮肤病变。通常，眼部护理人员容易漏诊和误诊，或者皮肤科医生将其作为伴随特征观察到，由传染性软疣引起的单侧结膜炎仍然很容易治疗。原发性皮肤病变的清除会使眼部症状迅速完全消退。本文介绍了两例口服抗病毒药物阿昔洛韦成功治疗眼部传染性软疣的病例，作为轶事性治疗证据。
