چکیده
Infection with molluscum contagiosum virus, a poxvirus, normally has a typical clinical presentation; therefore, laboratory confirmation is infrequently sought and the virus is rarely isolated in culture. As reported herein, viral culture of specimens from atypical lesions may produce an abortive infection in limited cell lines and a cytopathic effect suggestive of herpes simplex virus.

Direct detection of molluscum contagiosum virus in clinical specimens by dot blot hybridization.
A dot blot hybridization protocol was developed for the direct detection of molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV) DNA in clinical specimens submitted for virus isolation. Samples were concentrated by high-speed centrifugation and treated with proteinase K; this was followed by a single phenol-chloroform extraction step. The DNA was denatured, and the entire volume was spotted onto a nitrocellulose ...
