Molluscum Contagiosum Eyelid Lesions as the Initial Manifestation of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome - 31/07/14
Résumé |
Purpose |
To report molluscum contagiosum as the initial manifestation in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Method |
Case report. A 34-year-old man was examined with atypical, extensive molluscum contagiosum of the eyelids.
Results |
Biopsy of the lesions confirmed molluscum contagiosum, and a previously normal fundus now disclosed bilateral cotton wool spots and classic signs of cytomegalovirus retinitis in the left eye. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody testing was positive.
Conclusions |
Manifestation of atypical and extensive eyelid molluscum contagiosum may warrant additional history taking, comprehensive ophthalmic examination, including dilated ophthalmoscopic examination, and HIV testing.
