Molluscum contagiosum

Presents as numerous umbilicated skin lesions (Fig 20-5A).

Lesions on or near the eyelid margin can release viral particles onto
the conjunctival surface, resulting in a follicular conjunctivitis (Fig 20-
5B).
Most lesions do not require treatment because they tend to
resolve spontaneously; however, resolution can take months or
years.

Systemic manifestations range from mild to severe.

Ocular involvement (50% of patients), varies from mild

Ocular involvement begins with edema, erythema, and crusting of the eyelids. The palpebral
conjunctiva becomes hyperemic, and distinct vesicles or bullae may occur. In many instances,
epithelial defects or ulcers involving the tarsus and fornices develop. In severe cases, membranous
or pseudomembranous conjunctivitis may occur (Fig 20-15) and lead to symblepharon formation.
