Re: Molluscum ContagiosumFrom: ainsron (ainsron@sbcglobal.net)Thu Oct 25 12:26:46 2007
Why is anyone worried about Molluscum contagiosum? There is no clinical relevance to an infection with Molluscum Contagiosum, it is a benign self limited tumor of the genital and perianal areas by a poxvirus. It can be sexually transmitted, but it is not a STD. If she wants treatment, it can be cauterized, either chemically or with electrocautery. It is a self-limited disease and treatment is not usually mandatory. http://dermatology.cdlib.org/92/reviews/molluscum/diven.html Ronald E.

Siegel, M.D. Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2007 9:41 AM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: Ob: Molluscum Contagiosum I have a 35 week multip. with this in her groin crease, diagnosed by me and confirmed/reassessed by a local dermatologist. Nothing is on the vulva, and it is the "gut" impression of all (Derm, MFM, ID, Regular Pediatrician) that she can deliver vaginally, though one neonatologist was a bit worried. A medline got nowhere, and I have nothing in any texts re: vaginal delivery. Any thoughts? Garry

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education.
