“…5 The subsequent atopic signs are because of the increased B-cell production of immunoglobulin E. A case of secondary epibulbar conjunctival nodules from molluscum contagiosum has been reported in an immunocompetent patient with atopic dermatitis treated with oral prednisone. 6 However, in this report, primary cutaneous lesions had been noted 2 years previously in a periorbital location, which would prioritize molluscum as a diagnosis.…”

Molluscum contagiosum is a viral disease of the skin caused by poxvirus. Infection is usually spread by direct contact, particularly among children and young adults. It may occur on the skin and mucous membranes, with a predilection for the trunk and anogenital areas. Ocular molluscum contagiosum is very rare. Here we present a case of right lower eyelid region molluscum contagiosum. This patient is a 28 years old young woman from Ramchandropur, Pabna, Bangladesh. She noticed a painless swelling in her right lower eyelid for six months. Examination revealed a firm, rough and non-tender growth. There was no visual disturbance. After excisional biopsy, histopathological examination was performed. Microscopically, it shows verrucous epidermal hyperplasia and multiple intracytoplasmic molluscum bodies which are diagnostic key feature of molluscum contagiosum.KYAMC Journal Vol. 5, No.-2, Jan 2015, Page 537-539

“…Apart from the well-known eyelid involvement, chronic follicular conjunctivitis [14], corneal micropannus and epithelial keratitis have also been described. Across Europe, Asia and South America, 12 cases of solitary conjunctival lesions have been reported [1,6,12,21,26,27,43,54,57], but in only three instances were histopathological findings presented [1,6,43] [56], are successful in healthy individuals but tend to fail in HIV-infected patients due to recurrence [31].…”

“…MC is known to be a cutaneous marker of advanced HIV infection, a circumstance that has been well documented in both adults and children [23,28,33,40,50]. Individual case reports of atypical MC have been associated with atopic dermatitis [27,38], sarcoidosis [17], lymphatic leukaemia [46], T-cell deficiency [39], treatment with prednisone and methotrexate [49] and TNF-a-antibody therapy [10]. The tendency towards recurrence in immunocompromised patients [47] implies that the immune system is important in the infection's containment and elimination.…”

Purpose: To present a rare case of bilateral conjunctival molluscum contagiosum (MC) in an HIV-positive individual who had unilateral lesion excision before induction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), and to discuss the pathophysiological consequences of immune restoration. Methods: Case report: A 40-year-old male Caucasian presented with atypical, bilateral lesions of the limbal conjunctiva due to MC. Before the induction of HAART, nodules in the left eye were excised whilst the single lesion in the right eye was left untouched. Results: The clinical diagnosis of conjunctival MC was confirmed histopathologically. Six months after the induction of HAART, the untouched lesion (right eye) had regressed and there was pronounced local injection of the conjunctiva. MC lesions did not recur after excision (left eye), and signs of inflammation were absent. Conclusion: Conjunctival MC is rare and associated with immune deficiency. To the best of our knowledge, the presented case is the first reported instance of bilateral, multi-lesional MC of the conjunctiva in an HIVpositive patient undergoing HAART. Attention must be paid to the possible complications associated with the restoration of immunocompetence.
