Abstract:The development of the molluscum body and of the molluscum contagiosum virus is described. All cells of the molluscum lesion do not form molluscum bodies, but those which do probably show cytoplasmic abnormality prior to the appearance of virus particles within the cytoplasm. Such abnormal cells may reflect the activity of some infective precursor of the morphologically observable virus particle; they may alternatively represent cells which have successfully resisted invasion by the infective precursor.Cells w… Show more
